“Sentient Structures: The Art of Skye Tafoya + SABA,” on view through November 2, 2025, showcases the work of two artists creating architecturally-inspired expressions in materials that respond to the senses. Skye Tafoya (Eastern Band Cherokee/Santa Clara Pueblo) weaves paper structures and embeds knowledge in them through her printmaking processes. SABA (Diné/Jemez Pueblo) makes paintings and prints that anchor Pueblo architecture as evolving sites of home. This exhibition offers innovative approaches to printmaking, painting, and book arts and blurs the lines between two and three-dimensional mediums.

The exhibition marks the Spanish Colonial Arts Society's centennial by telling its century-long story of creating and caring for an extraordinary trove of nearly 4,000 objects representing the distinctive Hispano heritage of New Mexico. This provides a unique lens on the Society’s legacy of connecting to a community of artists and supporters of Hispano arts in New Mexico and beyond.

Pursuit of Happiness: Gi Bill in Taos refocuses the story of post-World War II artistic movements by highlighting those artists working, communing, and connecting in Taos from 1945 onward. These artists founded the next great wave of abstraction that took root in the region, bringing their vast creativity and international connections to the community. Highlighting works from Harwood Museum of Art’s permanent collection and sourcing significant loans regionally and nationally, this exhibition tells the story of how Taos contributed to conversations and explorations in the national art scene during the post-World War II period.

The Same Place at the Same Time is a series of three exhibition rotations that trace how art lives within, emerges from, and connects Taos’ creative communities. By gathering a varied array of arts—wood-fired ceramics, volunteer radio, and Pueblo foodways—into the rotating gallery space, the exhibition highlights the many interconnected maker groups within our larger Taos community. The inclusion of visual art, music, and food emphasizes the diversity of creativity that constructs thriving cultures and communities.

The exhibition is process-focused and collectively developed, documenting how these groups operate and co-curated by the groups themselves. It explores the wide-ranging organizational structures of these collectives, in turn allowing us to consider how these frameworks influence art making, relationships, and the rich culture of Taos. It asks how we might further nurture this expansive web of connections, both inside and outside of the gallery space.

Harwood Museum of Art is honored to collaborate with local artists, makers, and cultural leaders who shape and define Taos’s remarkable artistic landscape.
