10 Art Galleries in Taos That You Shouldn't Miss
A rolling mesa at the base of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, Taos has a magical quality. Its rugged beauty, majestic mountains, wild Rio Grande river and unique blend of cultures - Spanish, Native American and Anglo - have historically drawn artists and photographers, evidenced by the plentiful galleries, museums and festivals. To experience the Native American culture here, explore Taos Pueblo, where the Tiwa Native Americans have practiced their traditions for centuries. Finally, the Anglo influence is prevalent in the business district, with its shops, art galleries and some of the finest restaurants in New Mexico. Skiing is also a major draw, but the challenging slopes are geared to the more advanced crowd. There's no rat race here; a fair share of non-mainstreamers have made this laid-back, low-key mecca their home. You, too, may not want to leave its tranquility and natural beauty.

My family always loves stopping by this place when we're in Angel Fire - the owners and artists are so welcoming, so kind, and always happy to take the time to explain their process to you and give you a full tour of the studio and kiln where their works take shape. Every piece they make is beautiful and unique, and it's a great place to pick up gifts both for yourself and for others! Highly recommend stopping there if you're ever in the Enchanted Circle!
