Gallery corridors, contemporary spaces, public art organizations, and working studios across Taos County. Taos has been a working art market since the 1890s, when the first painters arrived and decided to stay. Today more than 60 galleries operate across the county, from dealer showrooms handling Taos Society of Artists estates to cooperatives staffed daily by the artists themselves.
Use this list for Taos gallery visits, contemporary art programming, public art, and direct art discovery. Most commercial galleries cluster along Ledoux Street, Kit Carson Road, and the area around the Taos Plaza. The Gusdorf Road corridor is home to 203 Fine Art, specializing in Taos Moderns and contemporary masters. The Paseo del Pueblo Sur hosts public art programming.

Ranchos de Taos is a distinct community built around the San Francisco de Asis Mission Church, the same adobe structure Georgia O'Keeffe painted more than 20 times. Chimayo Trading Del Norte occupies a 300-year-old building on the church plaza, while RB Ravens Gallery specializes in historic American Indian art and pre-1930 Navajo weavings along Highway 68.
