Guided by the 2024 Strategic Plan, the Chapel is focused on:
1. Stewardship of a Reflective Space
Preserving the Chapel and expanded campus as sanctuaries for contemplation, 
healing, and creativity.
2. Transformative Programming
Producing interfaith, artistic, human rights, and wellness programs that 
inspire inquiry, connection, and meaningful action.
3. Integration of Art, Spirituality & Activism
Strengthening the Chapel’s role as a hub for creative activism and spiritually 
grounded social justice work.
4. Community Capacity & Engagement
Supporting people and organizations working toward systemic change 
through dialogue, resources, partnerships, and public platforms.
5. Organizational Sustainability
Ensuring long-term environmental, financial, and institutional resilience 
for future generations.
Strategic Priorities (2024–2029)
The progress made this fiscal year demonstrates how the Chapel’s ongoing efforts 
align with the priorities defined in the 2024 Strategic Plan. The advancement of the 
Opening Spaces initiative, our off-site programming during the Chapel’s temporary 
closure, our strengthened partnerships across Houston, and the development of new 
administrative and archival resources all reflect the Plan’s core aims. These strategic 
priorities offer a cohesive framework for understanding the work underway and the 
milestones ahead, ensuring that the Chapel’s mission is carried forward with clarity 
and purpose.
Who We Are
Rothko Chapel is a place open to all, where art, spirituality, and public life converge. The 
Chapel invites individuals and communities to find stillness, deepen inner awareness, 
and engage with the pressing moral issues shaping our world.
