The tour is two parts. Part 1 is a walking tour and the Part 2 you will drive to a local gallery.
From an artist’s perspective, discover what makes Taos magical. Learn about it's rise to arts mecca through stories of the famous artists that have shaped it. We’ll visit and learn about the notorious DH Lawrence Collection, visit local galleries with works of local legend RC Gorman (and other local artists), the Public Works murals (a beautiful example of WPA projects), we’ll pass by the former
studio of legendary artist Agnes Martin, hear personal stories that offer a glimpse into the personalities of famous artists attracted to Taos, and visit the house of one of the artists that is credited with starting it all. Our passion for art and Taos will leave you informed and inspired.
Maps will be supplied to drive on your own to meet us for Part 2 of the tour where we'll be welcomed at a local gallery to learn about the Taos Moderns and see a prime example of Dynamite Art that literally utilized dynamite to achieve its form. You will also get a personalized tour of the current exhibit. This artist is a personal link to the Taos Moderns and his work is a great example of modern art in the current age.
