Keith House is home to James Turrell’s 99th skyspace installation, Come to Good, designed to be experienced at sunrise and sunset. Inspired by the artist’s favorite Quaker meeting house in Cornwall, England, the space invites quiet contemplation as light transforms our perception of the sky through an aperture in the ceiling. Turrell recalls, “I was maybe 5 or 6, and my grandmother would begin sitting me in the Quaker meeting house. I asked my grandmother, ‘What am I supposed to do?’ and she said, ‘Just wait—we’re going inside to greet the light.’ I liked that—this idea to go inside to find that light within, literally as well as figuratively.”
A gift to Fort Worth from the Meta Alice Keith Bratten Foundation, Keith House is located at the Trailhead in the Clearfork district. Nestled within a grove of trees, its setting further enhances the sense of calm and mindfulness for which Turrell’s work is known.
On select evenings, we welcome visual artists, art historians, performers, and other guests to engage with the work in ways that deepen the experience of observing time, light, and perception as they slowly unfold.
What People are Saying
"It's a very special place for special events that you want to cherish. It's not a casual choice. It's an intentional space for those who want their event to truly be remembered."
"What a beautiful package! The reservation process was simple and easy, and personal communication with staff provided immediate comfort. Parking was easy, and the walk to Keith House was a lovely experience in and of itself."
"It was fantastic. Apparently, the 20-something people on tour were non-stop full of questions until they stepped inside and everyone stopped, sat down, got quiet and enjoyed the space. We heard nothing but good things, and we really appreciate you working with us."
"Keith House is a fascinating facility, giving visitors the opportunity to experience the sunrise and sunset in a new and fascinating way."
"Keith House has the perfect elements for numerous events. The space brings nature into each room… a pastoral experience inside and out! While our event was a day of honoring and remembering, we saw a rabbit and a bobcat, Wow! It is remarkable to walk into the main room and see the sky… a moment that will be engraved on my heart!"
