2022 Inaugural Exhibition

The Taos Abstract Artist Collective promotes abstract artists working in or near Taos, New Mexico, toward the exchange of ideas, new aesthetics and creative concepts. Taos is synonymous with abstract thinking, with origins in indigenous geometries, transcendental and modernist movements, and conceptual and land art installation. Once the nexus for westward bound artists, Taos unleashes expansive, abstract thinkers. It is from this landscape that TAAC is pleased to highlight concepts in painting, drawing, fiber arts, sculpture, digital art, conceptual installation and printmaking. Represented amongst the inaugural group are established, mid-career and emerging artists who show in Taos or Northern New Mexico, nationally and internationally. TAAC is an artist-driven idea platform. As we look to the future, TAAC will offer curated and juried exhibitions, artist talks, studio visits and collaborative community concepts. 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 phenomenal inaugural 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 to Taos itself for lending its history and legacy to us as a point of challenge, inspiration, and opportunity.
