Couse-Sharp Historic Site
Hello Friends,
La luz de Taos refers to the exquisite light here in northern New Mexico that has delighted and inspired generations of visual artists. Our biennial Gala exhibition, La Luz de Taos 2024, not only showcases an astonishing collection of contemporary art, but also celebrates the 23-year history of The Couse Foundation, which owns and manages Couse-Sharp Historic Site.
The exhibition is on view in our beautiful Lunder Research Center, a 5,000-square-foot museum facility dedicated to the Taos Society of Artists and their inspirational legacy. The research center archives, collections, library, and exhibitions promote increased awareness of and appreciation for the multicultural story championed by the artists of Taos.
I thank our participating artists, sponsors, donors, attendees, and purchasers for their generosity and committed support of our mission and vision.
