LOGO COMPETITION
The Taos Gallery Association ( TGA ) is having an open competition for a new logo.
This includes artists, graphic designers, high school students, etc.The new TGA logo will be used by the organization as part of its identity. The new logo needs to facilitate instant recognition of the organization and to reinforce brand expectations and public image. Below is a mission statement.
"The mission of the Taos Gallery Association is to promote the visual arts of Taos, New Mexico on a national level."
"Cradled on the edge of where the soaring Sangre de Cristo Mountains of northern New Mexico fan out westward toward the sage brushed mesas and plains, Taos has been a magnet for artists for over 100 years. Rooted with the now legendary "broken wheel" of Blumenschein and Sharp in the 1890's, to the formation of the "Taos Society of Artists" in the early 20th century, Taos' storied history as an artists' community is as colorful and vibrant as the arts and crafts emanating from its adobe and hollyhock-lined streets."
This new logo will be used in promoting the TGA in print, web, etc. The chosen logo designer will receive credit on the TGA website and press releases announcing the winner.
Please submit all ideas / designs to Rob Nightingale, 119 A Kit Carson Road, Taos, NM 87571 or info@wnightingale.com by 5:00 pm. Friday, MARCH 19th

TAO EDUCATION PROGRAMS
TAO Summer Arts
"TAO Summer Arts" & "Neighborhood Arts"
For me, one of the best things about being an artist is the freedom to express myself. When I imagine a new piece I think in the round and the symbolic form comes to mind. Do you remember your first art experience? How did this effect your life as a "real" artist. Who were your influences? A parent, a teacher, maybe a trip to a museum? Here in Taos, a group of TAO members who happen to be art teachers are using their influence to enrich the lives of the youth in our community.
Lorrie Bortner, Jan Haller and I have teamed up together to create "TAO Summer Arts". We wrote grants and actually received a few small contributions to the Program. I had to back out because of limited funds but Lorrie and Jan taught their classes- Mural Painting and Expressive Painting at locations in Taos to youth ages 5-12. The classes were free to the kids and they had a fabulously enriching time.
The other Program spearheaded by TAO member, Sienna Sanderson , in which Lorrie Bortner, Jan Haller, Barbara Barrett, Jon Greenley, Mary Barnes and I participated in is the "Neighborhood Arts" Program. This program sponsored by TAO, The Harwood Museum of Art, the Town of Taos and YouthHeartline is also free to youth and brought art making to neighborhoods in Taos. Tents, which became art rooms, were set up in a trailer park behind Walmart and the kids and their families joined together for mask making, collage, murals and painting. What fun we have been having and what a great opportunity to use our skills as artists and teachers to influence the young artists of tomorrow. See the photos above and below. There will be more programs like this in the near future and we will be contacting artists interested in teaching in similar programs. Look for the emails...
