Art Galleries in Taos
Taos has been drawing artists since Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Phillips arrived by wagon in 1898 and decided to stay - a decision that launched one of the most consequential art colonies in American history. The Taos Society of Artists, formed in 1915, established the town as a serious destination for painters working with the extraordinary light of the high desert, and that tradition continues unbroken in galleries, studios, and museums that make Taos one of the most concentrated art experiences in the Southwest. The Millicent Rogers Museum holds one of the finest collections of Southwestern art and craft in the world, with particular depth in Diné and Pueblo textiles, pottery, and jewelry. Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site continuously inhabited for more than a thousand years, anchors a living Indigenous culture that remains central to the region's artistic identity.

Art in Taos
The art of Taos is inseparable from its landscape and its history. The town sits at 7,000 feet in the shadow of the Taos Mountains, and the quality of the light — crystalline, shadowless, intensely colored — has drawn painters for well over a century. Taos Pueblo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site continuously inhabited for more than a thousand years, is both a living community and a source of artistic traditions in pottery, weaving, and jewelry that continue to define the cultural identity of the region. The Millicent Rogers Museum holds one of the finest collections of Southwestern art and craft in the world, with particular depth in Diné and Pueblo textiles, pottery, and jewelry alongside paintings by Taos Society artists. The Harwood Museum of Art anchors the gallery scene downtown, while dozens of commercial galleries along Bent Street, Ledoux Street, and the historic plaza represent contemporary artists working in both traditional and experimental modes. Taos rewards the visitor who takes time to move slowly through it.
