MARFA — The Helen Frankenthaler Foundation announced last week that it has awarded $3.4 million in Frankenthaler Climate Initiative (FCI) grants to 74 visual arts organizations across the United States supporting the advancement of energy efficiency and clean energy projects. 

Ballroom Marfa was awarded $25,000 to develop a plan to preserve the historic 1920s ballroom while simultaneously addressing climate change by implementing the necessary energy efficient upgrades.
