In the desolate stretch of West Texas near Valentine, an unexpected sight greets travelers — a small, non-functional Prada storefront sitting alone in the desert. Prada Marfa, a permanent art installation created in 2005 by artists Elmgreen & Dragset, is a cultural landmark that offers a striking commentary on consumerism and luxury. Though it's not a real store, it’s filled with genuine Prada items and has become a global icon and selfie magnet, despite bouts of vandalism and theft.
Texas has a spot where Cadillacs are buried, nose first, in the ground for people to spray paint on, we've got mysterious ghost lights that even NASA can't explain, a big ass pair of cowboy boots and more.
We've even got a museum dedicated to toilet seats ... seriously.
This year marks the 46th annual Lubbock Arts Festival, and it is sure to be another fantastic year. It is held at the Lubbock Memorial Civic Center on April 13th and 14th, 2024.
