Questa | 100% Community Mural
New Mural Proposed with Questa Creative Council
The Paseo Project is partnering with 100% Taos County Initiative and the Questa Creative Council on a new community mural project in Questa, New Mexico. Building on a shared commitment to creative placemaking and community wellbeing, this project centers collaboration, listening, and local voices.
The 2026 mural will focus on the theme of Youth Mentorship, reflecting one of the core impact areas of the 100% Taos County Initiative and the importance of intergenerational support, guidance, and opportunity for young people in our region.
The project will begin with a community listening event in late winter, followed by mural production in April, and a community celebration in May. More details—including the mural location, selected artist(s), and full schedule—will be announced soon. Please check back for updates.
100% Taos County Initiative:
The 100% Taos County Initiative is a grassroots project that uses an evidence-based collective and community impact model to ensure everyone in Taos County has access to the ten vital services they need to survive and thrive. It is part of a statewide initiative developed by the Anna Age Eight Institute at New Mexico State University. 100% Taos surveys residents about their experience accessing services, incorporates other local, state, and national data and reports, and collaborates with local agencies, schools, government, and community in Ten Action Teams to develop realistic solutions to fill the gaps. The 100% Mural Projects recognize the vital role of the Arts in community to survive and thrive and bring the objectives of the Initiative to life. https://www.100nm.org/taos/
