The Exhibition

April 17–June 4, 2026
Couse-Sharp Historic Site

Taos, New Mexico, USA

The Taos Society of Artists left a profound artistic and social legacy. Inspired by the light, landscape, culture, and people of Taos valley, 12 artists shared their skills and resources to achieve together an impact that far outweighs what they could have accomplished as individuals. They were both drivers and beneficiaries of social and economic factors that created a new zeitgeist in early 20th-century America. Their shared vision, of creating a uniquely American art, permanently influenced not only the world of art but also prevailing perceptions of Native America and the West.

The assembled artists in this exhibition, La Luz de Taos 2026, represent a breadth of backgrounds and mediums, drawing inspiration from the vast landscape and culturally diverse peoples of Taos and the American West. Together their work presents a contemporary vision of our region, its people, and the nuanced history and traditions imbued in the landscape. It can be said that the legacy of the Taos Society of Artists rests with these artists, to remind us of the beauty that surrounds us and to encourage us to appreciate the richness of culture that makes us stronger as a people and a nation.
