2024 Spring Exhibition

147 artists from North­ern New Mex­i­co sub­mit­ted more than 350 works to this open call, more than dou­bling the num­ber of pieces sub­mit­ted to the 2022 Inau­gur­al Exhi­bi­tion. As such, TAAC hon­ored the enthu­si­asm of our com­mu­ni­ty by pro­duc­ing two excit­ing exhi­bi­tions, the first in Fall of 2023, fol­lowed by this Spring Exhi­bi­tion in April of 2024. TAAC is an artist-dri­ven idea plat­form. Fol­low­ing the suc­cess of our Inau­gur­al Exhi­bi­tion in 2022, TAAC launched the TAAC TALKS vir­tu­al artist vis­it series, pro­duced its first juried exhi­bi­tion, VIEWPOINT: Abstract Min­i­mal­ism in Taos, New Mex­i­co; expand­ed com­mu­ni­ty part­ner­ships and col­lab­o­ra­tions, host­ed social events for artists and obtained its non-prof­it sta­tus. As we look to a bright future, TAAC will con­tin­ue to pri­or­i­tize artists and look to ampli­fy abstract art and prac­tice across our region. TAAC is an inclu­sive group that ampli­fies self-iden­ti­fy­ing abstract artists liv­ing and work­ing in North­ern New Mex­i­co, hon­or­ing our inter­sect­ing iden­ti­ties across race, nation­al ori­gin, eth­nic­i­ty, cul­ture, size, gen­der iden­ti­ty and expres­sion, dis­abil­i­ty, sex­u­al­i­ty, age, socioe­co­nom­ic sta­tus, neu­rotype, reli­gion and/or spir­i­tu­al prac­tice. All abstract artists are wel­come in their pur­suit of provoca­tive expres­sion. Thank you to the artists who respond­ed pas­sion­ate­ly to our exhi­bi­tion open call and who active­ly gen­er­ate new con­nec­tions and con­cepts in cre­ative com­mu­ni­ty-build­ing and art prac­tice. Thank you always to Taos itself for lend­ing its his­to­ry and lega­cy to us as a point of chal­lenge, inspi­ra­tion, and opportunity.
