Developed by The Casetta Group, Hotel Willa represents the thoughtful transformation of the historic Indian Hills Motel into a modern, art-forward destination. Alongside its 51 guest rooms, restaurant and bar, outdoor pool, and 2,000 square foot art gallery, Hotel Willa hosts an on-site Artist-in-Residence Program as a platform. This collaboration with The Paseo Project supports Hotel Willa’s goal to foster a lively, year-round hub of artistic activity within the hotel grounds.

The Hotel Willa Artist-in-Residence Program, activated by The Paseo Project, invites artists across all disciplines to apply for the 2025 residency in Taos, New Mexico. This four-week residency offers a unique opportunity to live and create in the vibrant cultural landscape of Taos, surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Southwest. 

Artists will have the time, space, and inspiration to develop new work in a supportive, immersive environment, with the freedom to focus on their creative process. 

The Hotel Willa offers an inspiring atmosphere ideal for creative exploration, while The Paseo Project’s mission of community-driven arts provides a unique platform for artists to engage with the public if desired.
