Nestled between Big Bend National Park and the Davis Mountains is a city all minimalist art lovers would appreciate. Marfa, Texas is more than just a small town found in the deserts of West Texas. The tourist destination has been growing more popular due to their several art museums, their classic Texas town feel and some great falafels from a must-try food truck. You can’t forget the tourist’s favorite, the Marfa Lights. Marfa is a great place to stop during a West Texas road trip. We curated a few Instagram photos that highlight some of the best aspects of this artsy city.

Marfa, why you so whimsical? 🇨🇱

"Is one big idea enough? Is variation really pleasurable? Is this too much? Is this enough? Are dreams limitations? Is anger useful? Does thinking about happiness prevent it? Is repetition ok? Does novelty matter? Is growth desirable? Is calm an illusion? Does fear drive us? Is there always more? Is choice possible? Our feelings independent of place? Does getting drunk help? Is experience repeatable? Do thoughts follow actions? Is change necessary? Are expectations a problem? Can purity be created? Are we born innocent? Is this progress? Is austerity an illusion? Can complexity be simple?" #marfatexas #puppyprowess #theadventuresofgordothedog #doglife #dog #canineroadtrip #streetart

This week's #teamAFARspotlight focuses on Art Director @jseldon11, and his recent trip to the uber-funky and photogenic Marfa, Texas. "This town is an Instagrammers dream and every street welcomes you with a surprise. I found this adorable, tiny art gallery as I was walking to the nearby Hotel Saint George for an afternoon beer." Check back throughout the day for more shots of Jason's trip!
