The Ghost Ranch Weekend is a two‑day celebration of pioneering women in the arts held on the grounds of historic Ghost Ranch in Abiquiu, New Mexico. The program pairs live performances on the lawn with morning music yoga and a Saturday poetry reading, all framed by the valley and the region’s signature rock formations that inspired Georgia O’Keeffe.
