For the Love of Art

Since 1923, the Harwood Museum of Art has served as a place to find connection and inspiration while serving as Taos and Northern New Mexico’s cultural heart.

To continue our vital work, we need your help and support more than ever before. Closing our doors and canceling events to do our part to keep the community safe during the Coronavirus pandemic has meant a dramatic decline in our funding sources.

Your generous donation is essential to help us continue to innovate and adapt. We have found innovative new ways to create art experiences that foster inspiration, conversations, and shift perspectives. We believe that art can help us find a renewed sense of humanity and see a path to a healthier and more resilient future.

With your help, the Harwood will remain a vibrant center for Taos’ arts for the next century and beyond. Thank you for supporting our mission with your donation.
