Art
and Such
Everyone in Taos
knows something about art. This is because it pervades nearly every
aspect of daily life. Taos' love affair with art began with the arrival
in 1898 of two painters, Ernest Blumenschein and Bert Phillips. They
established an art colony, which subsequently propelled Taos into
legendary status. The area has inspired renowned artists like Ansel
Adams, D.H. Lawrence, and Georgia O'Keeffe, and today, a new generation
of artists preserves Taos' rich artistic tradition.
The lively Taos art scene includes visual, literary and performing
arts, and art-lovers can attend the event of their choice: the World
Championship Poetry Bout, Taos Inn's long-running Meet the Artist
series, the Spring Arts Celebration and Fall Arts Festival. Arts and
culture come together during other events that include the annual
Old Taos Trade Fair and Yuletide in Taos. Performing arts events are
held throughout the year--from chamber music and jazz concerts to
one of the nation's premier independent film festivals.
