Long a beacon for visual artists, Taos has also become a magnet for touring musicians, especially in summer, when performers and audiences are drawn to the heady high-desert atmosphere. Festivals celebrate the visual arts, music, poetry, and film.
Since 1953, when the Taos Center for the Arts was founded by a group of working artists, TCA has been a leader in arts collaboration and partnership. With a 275-seat theater (the largest indoor auditorium in town) and two galleries, TCA curates culturally relevant films, art exhibitions, and live performances by creatives of local, regional, and international renown.
