La Luz de Taos 2024
La Luz de Taos 2024 opens April 12 in the Lunder Research Center on the downtown Taos campus of the Couse-Sharp Historic Site. It features 60 works by exciting contemporary artists in a variety of media. LaLuzdeTaos.org goes live the same day.
The LRC focuses on the Taos Society of Artists (TSA); E. I. Couse and J. H. Sharp were two of the founding members in 1915. “The TSA left a profound artistic and social legacy,” said Davison Packard Koenig, executive director and curator. “Their shared vision, of creating a uniquely American art, permanently influenced not only the world of art but also prevailing perceptions of Native America and the American West. The artists in La Luz de Taos represent a breadth of backgrounds, presenting a contemporary vision of our region, its people, and the nuanced history and traditions imbued in the landscape.”
“Taos has an intense magnetic draw to artists and people who are in tune to its special beauty and character,” said participating artist Logan Maxwell Hagege. “I am so grateful that Couse-Sharp Historic Site exists to help preserve the legacy of the Taos Society of Artists as well as educate the public on this fascinating time in Western American art history. On a very personal level, I’d love to dig into the archives and get to know these artists more intimately.”Confimed participating artists are Tony Abeyta, Bill Acheff, Mitch Baird, Eric Bowman, Autumn Borts-Medlock, Nocona Burgess, Chloe´ Marie Burk, Arturo Chavez, S. M. Chavez, John Coleman, Nicholas Coleman, Glenn Dean, Josh Elliott, Phil Epp, Jody and Susan Folwell, Logan Maxwell Hagege, Brett Allen Johnson, Jivan Lee, Melinda Littlejohn, Arthur Lopez, Leon Loughridge, Ira Lujan, Drew Macias, Mark Maggiori, Paul Moore, Paige Pierson, Ben Pease, Howard Post, Kevin Red Star, Ron Rencher, Andrew Roda, Yellowbird Samora, Don Sandoval, Ed Sandoval, Billy Schenck, Jim Vogel, Nathanael Volckening, Lyle Wright and Scott Yeager.“La Luz de Taos is a very important show because it is contributing to keeping the heritage of the TSA alive,” said Mark Maggiori. “Taos being a big part of my life and my creative process, I am always honored and happy to have one of my works in the show, knowing that half of the proceeds go to the organization.”Images
