The Harwood Museum of Art is one of the best kept secrets in the Southwest. Founded in 1923 in Taos, New Mexico, the museum’s collections and exhibitions tell a comprehensive story of art in Taos and Northern New Mexico. You will explore notable art from contemporary to traditional in a John Gaw Meem historic building.
The Harwood Museum of Art’s impressive permanent collection also includes the world renowned Agnes Martin Gallery, often compared to the Rothko Chapel. This installation of seven paintings, the only one of its kind in the world, was gifted to the Harwood by abstract expressionist painter Agnes Martin who called Taos her home.
In the 1940s-1950s Taos became one of the centers of modernist artistic activity in the United States. The Harwood’s extensive Taos Moderns and mid 20th century collection includes Andrew Dasburg, Marsden Hartley, Louis Ribak, Clay Spohn, Emil Bisttram, Dorothy Eugenie Brett, Edward Corbett and many more.
The Harwood Museum also features a significant collection of early 20th century artists including the Taos Society of Artists. See famous works by Victor Higgins, E. Martin Hennings, Joseph Henry Sharp, Ernest L. Blumenschein, E.I. Couse and others.
Our Native American collection includes original art by notable indigenous artists like John Suazo, Tony Abeyta, Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Juan Tafiho Mirabal, Julian Martinez, Dwayne Wilcox and others.
Our Hispanic Traditions collection has a number of historic santos, bultos, retablos, and crosses including art by Jose Rafael Aragon. The Harwood Museum has the largest collection of santero artists Patrociño Barela and Gustavo Victor Goler.
Join us for insightful lectures and special artist presentations in our 95-seat Arthur Bell Auditorium. We open our doors and share a variety of special events and art exhibition receptions throughout the year.

Raven Chacon created For Zitkála-Ša, a series of lithographs of musical arrangements dedicated to contemporary American Indian, First Nations, and Mestiza women working in music performance, composition, and sound art. Chacon envisioned the scores as portraits of the women and how they navigate the twenty-first century. The title of the series refers to the Yankton Dakota composer and musician Zitkála-Šá, who lived from 1876 to 1938.

An inquisitive and exquisite violinist, Ortman is versed in Apache violin, piano, electric guitar, keyboards, and amplified violin, and often sings through a megaphone. She is a producer of capacious field recordings.

In 2008, She founded the Coast Orchestra, an all-Native American orchestral ensemble that performed a live soundtrack to Edward Curtis’s film In the Land of the Head Hunters (1914), the first silent feature film to star an all-Native American cast.

About the Exhibition
Raven Chacon: Three Songs brings together three of Raven Chacon’s projects that pay tribute to Indigenous women through sound, video, and visual work. In the series For Zitkála-Šá (2018), Chacon created musical arrangements dedicated to different contemporary Indigenous, First Nations, or Mestiza women working in music performance, composition, or sound art. The video installation Three Songs (2021) features Indigenous women singing as they reoccupy sites of historic massacres, displacement, or relocation of tribal people. The final work, Silent Choir (2016-2017), is a field recording Chacon made while taking part in the Dakota Access Pipeline protests, which captures the silent protest of 600 water protectors facing police and security forces. When presented in unison, these works resound the suppressed histories and present-day stories of Native resistance in the face of systemic power.
Raven Chacon is a Diné (Navajo) composer, performer, and installation artist born in Fort Defiance, Navajo Nation and based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As a solo artist, Chacon has exhibited, performed, or had works performed at LACMA, The Kennedy Center, and the Whitney Museum, among others. In 2022, he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in Music.
