Partner Opportunities

Ballroom Marfa and Green Mountain Energy Company have partnered to install a solar array for the cultural arts space, located at 108 East San Antonio St., Marfa, Texas.
The 5.2 kilowatt (kW) solar array was installed in May 2009.
The 450-square-foot solar array is mounted on the building’s roof and was built with 30 photovoltaic (PV) solar panels that convert sunlight into electricity, producing 7,315 kW of clean energy annually.
The Green Mountain Energy^® Solar at Ballroom Marfa is helping to power approximately 15 percent of the building’s annual electrical usage.
The solar array will offset 13,700 pounds of carbon dioxide (C0₂) annually. C0₂ is a greenhouse gas that is a leading contributor of global warming.
This has the same environmental impact of not driving a car over 15,000 miles annually or the annual sequestration from more than 800 trees.

Ballroom Marfa is a dynamic, contemporary cultural arts space that provides a lively intellectual environment where varied perspectives and issues are explored through visual arts, film, music and performance.
Founded in 2003 by Fairfax Dorn and Virginia Lebermann.
Although located in the rural town of Marfa, Texas (population 2,121) we are recognized as a major arts institution that attracts thousands of audience members from around the world to its exhibitions and programs each year.
Ballroom Marfa welcomes over 14,000 visitors to programs and events in Marfa during the program year.
To date the Ballroom Marfa Visual Arts Program has presented 17 exhibitions with 118 artists represented. The Music Program now in its sixth season has presented 59 concerts in Marfa. The Film Program has presented the work of 68 filmmakers.
Ballroom Marfa is a non-profit 501 (c)(3) organization.
