"I experienced the Rothko Chapel as a nondenominational sanctuary established by the de Menils in 1971 and containing 14 meditative canvases by Mark Rothko that create a contemplative, iconic space in Montrose." - Kayla S. Stewart, Matt Ortile
"If you are ever in need of a quiet moment of thought, meditation, or prayer, you can find it at the Rothko Chapel. Spiritual or not, you will feel welcome and moved here. The dim, diffused light and the 14 panels by Mark Rothko that line the wall create a calm, peaceful space to contemplate. The chapel's other vocation is action, and provides a forum for human rights. Outside, is a beautiful green space, and a sculpture by Barnett Newman standing in memory of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. They host a myriad of events for the community from yoga and midnight-meditation to live music and lectures." - Curiosity and Curiosities
"On Menil’s 30-acre arts campus, you’ll also find the Rothko Chapel, a standalone, non-denominational house of worship and meditation built by Mark Rothko in 1971." - Dan Q. Dao
