Taos Long Known for the Art Scene

As most well know, Taos is a long time art community. The Fall Arts & Crafts season is upon us. You'll find numerous gallery and museum shows year round with fall being a particularly good time to enjoy the varied art offerings.

One of the interesting current displays at UNM's Harwood Museum includes photographs and art of E. I. Couse, one of the founders of the Taos art colony. Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza abuts the Couse meadow, at 19 acres, the largest tract of yet undeveloped land in downtown Taos.

Another interesting show goes on in our lobby. Sam Del Russi paints astronomical / space art. Very interesting stuff. I'll dig up an old blog post and add it to this one shortly. Sam's pieces are priced reasonably in the $250 to $500 range. All are for sale at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. He's had a good summer as we've sold about 30 pieces!

Call or email questions about the art shows in and around the Taos area. Google Taos art / gallery and you'll find more information than I could possibly talk about here.

Come see us at Indian Hills Inn, Taos Plaza. You'll start to relax as you enter our comfortable lobby with high beamed ceilings, expansive windows with mountain views. Most Guests appreciate our acre sized central courtyard's contribution to their further relaxing. Some sit around grandma willow (100 feet tall, 25 feet around the trunk), sip a toddie, maybe even light a fire in the fioreplace. Just ask for ideas of what to do, where to go, which restaurant to choose, etc.. We're your "tour guide". www.newmex.com/indianhillsinn. 1-800-444-2346.
