Marfa Myths

Marfa Myths Music Festival

Marfa Myths is an annual music festival and multidisciplinary cultural program founded in 2014 by nonprofit contemporary arts foundation Ballroom Marfa and Brooklyn-based music label Mexican Summer. With Marfa Myths, our organizations bring together a diversity of emerging and established artists and musicians to work creatively and collaboratively across music, film, and visual arts contexts. The

festival is inherently embedded in the landscape of Far West Texas, and deeply engaged with Marfa’s cultural history and present-day community.

Friends 🌵〰️ Myths is taking a little breather for 2020. We’ll be back in the not-so-distant future with some visions of where and how Myths will next take place and form. Some new horizons for Myths are coming into focus, and we’re just waiting for the right time and vantage to share the view.

In the meantime, there are plenty of Myths memories to mine at our web site and out in the wild▪️▪️stay tuned ..

"In a time where so many festival lineups are beginning to look identical to one another, Marfa Myths was a breath of fresh air and a masterclass in diverse booking." - Austin Monthly on 2019 ☀️🌵

There was a lot to love about the four-day funky art and music fest.

"Myths is curated in the spirit of nudging people towards an appreciation of music that's rooted in a universal, elementary, defamiliarized place of joy, rather than clout. Made possible by its extraordinary hometown, Myths is a musical experience as agnostic to the religion of cultural currency that we're all unwilling devotees of, as perhaps is possible in 2019." ✨ Paper Magazine ☀️ 💛

Interview Magazine caught up with Cate Le Bon, following her woodworking residency at this year's Myths on her craft, and how she reimagined her upcoming album "Reward" as a bauhaus-inspired chair 🔴

And in four easy steps, the songwriter, and craftswoman, instructs us on how to make a custom-built chair. Some assembly, it should be said, is required.

"In a festival landscape that’s become homogenous to the point of banality, in terms of both lineups and style, Marfa Myths still manages to surprise on both fronts." - Vogue on the streets of Marfa, covering this year's Myths street style ✨
