Funky metal art in Terlingua Ghost Town.Terlingua, quite naturally, has a population rich with creative souls.  

When an artist moves to town, you can bet that their art will begin to blossom like the cactus after a spring deluge.  The desert is a place of deep and quiet contemplation, mind-blowing landscapes, huge starry skies, and freaky fauna/flora... Plus, a collection of interesting characters!  All of which lend to the development of one's creative spirit.

When you're in town, please stop and visit these art spaces/galleries, which will be open all day during The GREEN SCENE on October 27, 2018.  The galleries include:  "Earth & Fire Gallery" and the "Feather Gallery".  You will also find local art on display at the Starlight Theatre Restaurant, the High Sierra Bar and Grill, and at the Motor Inn.

Stay in the Ghost Town!  The Green Scene is within a short walking distance from:

Big Bend Holiday Hotel

Big Bend Holiday Hotel, located behind the Terlingua Trading Company, offers sophisticated accommodations in a primitive setting.  The Holiday Hotel is no franchise resort. It's perfect for raucous revelry or a romantic rendezvous, or both...

You'll find many things in the Ghost Town in the exact condition they've been in for centuries, and that's great for exploring, but at the end of the day you may want air conditioning!
