Help Reopen the Skyspace

Help reopen the James Turrell Skyspace! COVID-19 necessitated the temporary closure of the Skyspace in March 2020. While shuttered, several major conservation and maintenance efforts were deferred. Landmarks needs your help now to complete the necessary work to reopen to the public in mid-February. Read more about our campaign to reopen here.

Do you have an art lover on your holiday shopping list? We recommend a Landmarks Handbook, or The Collections: The University of Texas at Austin, which make the perfect present to celebrate the holidays.
