With
renewed vigor, the volunteer Taos Fall Arts Festival board is
working diligently to make 2011 Festival an exciting event.
The quality in this year’s show is outstanding and we
have added new events for increased interest, energy and participation
by artists, art enthusiasts, and Taos Visitors alike.
The Taos Select, formally
known as "Taos Invites" is a juried show
this year. We had a great response to the call for artwork and
are pleased with the independent Juror’s selection.
The ever popular Taos Open
has always been an exciting show. We never know who or what
will be shown, It has been found that some visitors spend more
time at this show looking for the unexpected.
 |
For
the second year in a row we did a call for Artists to submit
for the poster selection. We are
pleased that Stephen Kilbourn was chosen with his image
"Cottonwood and Red wall." Stephen will be signing
posters on the opening evening of the show. |
An
exciting addition to the Taos Fall Arts Festival will be the
Distinguished Achievement Award Series.
We will be honoring G. Phil Poirier, Victor Goler and Julian
Robles. Visit the Distinguished Achievement
Award Series page for information about purchasing tickets
for this event on Friday, September 23rd at 4PM.
