The Taos Studio Tour is an annual event on Labor Day Weekend.  Start at the Taos Vally Lodge to view the 22 artists' work and grab a brochure or go to the Taos Artist Organization website and use the Google map that will give you directions to each artist's studio.  You will get to travel the back roads of Taos (and avoid the construction in town!) and talk with the artists, find out what inspired their work and make a few purchases.
