Mission

The mission of the Rothko Chapel is to inspire people to action through art and contemplation, to nurture reverence for the highest aspirations of humanity, and to provide a forum for global concerns.

About

The Rothko Chapel hosts annually more than 100,000 visitors from more than 100 countries. Visitors are drawn to the Chapel's unique sacred art created by Mark Rothko and Barnett Newman, as well as for contemplation and prayer. The Rothko Chapel is the steward for the artwork, ensuring its upkeep and accessibility to the public, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and open daily 10-6 free of charge. The Chapel vestibule offers educational materials and media about the Chapel and its mission. The Chapel furthers its hospitality by providing a sacred place for personal and private ceremonies and services celebrating life's passages, as well as for faith community services and religious holidays. As of March 2019, public access to the chapel has been suspended while renovations are being completed as part of the Opening Spaces Campaign.
