Taos Fall Arts Festival is Back!
September 18 - October 4, 2026
Taos Fall Arts Festival is pleased to announce the 2026 return of a celebration of visual arts and artists in Taos County! Exhibitions will be on view throughout Historic Downtown Taos, with the Open Call Exhibit in Tuesday Morning and the Taos Invitational Exhibit at the old US Bank.
For over fifty years, TFAF has welcomed visitors from across the nation to experience Taos during one of our most beautiful seasons, when the Aspen trees begin to change and hot air balloons float the morning skies.
Dedicated to showcasing the fine art talents of this historic community, we will have over 250+ contemporary artists exhibiting across multiple venues in downtown Taos. TFAF is honored to be re-opening the doors of the long-awaited Historic Courthouse and its mural room, along with the former U.S. Bank building on the plaza, and the old Tuesday Morning.
