The 100% Taos County Initiative, Peñasaco Independent Schools District, and The Paseo Project are excited to announce a new opportunity for a Taos County based Artist in the creation of an outdoor wall mural in Peñasco, New Mexico. The mural is the second 100% Taos County Initiative mural in Taos County. We are seeking a talented and experienced mural artist to create a vibrant and impactful mural that celebrates the tradition, diversity, and spirit of the Peñasco community.

Fiscal Sponsorship: The above painting, an interpretation of Oscar E. Berninghaus' painting, Hondo Canyon, c. 1925, is the maquette for the mural honoring Oscar E. Berninghaus,  to go on the 12.5' x 28' wall that is the Southeast side of 229 Camino de la Placita, Taos, NM.  Oscar E. Berninghaus is one of the founding members of the Taos Society of Artists.  He first arrived in Taos in 1899. 

The mural is scheduled to be installed in the spring/summer of 2025

Taos MainStreet , The Paseo Project, Taos Roundtable/ the Lions Club and the Town of Taos have all joined forces to create a pop-up mural gallery on Taos Plaza. Twelve artists were selected and installed their artwork on Saturday July 22nd on the Plaza. A big thank you to our friends at Randall Lumber & Hardware for helping us out with the materials.

This project is generously sponsored by the LOR Foundation

In 2020, the 100% Community Initiative at Taos Pueblo invited people from Taos County to join in a countywide effort to ensure access to services for surviving and thriving for everyone in our county.

The Mural Project was developed to spread awareness about the initiative and celebrate the roots of local culture and history that are vital to our community. With sponsorship from LOR Foundation 100% was able to commission Lynnette Haozous for this mural.

In the fall of 2021, our partners over at Hotel Willa funded six murals by local artists to grace their construction site. As the complete transformation of the new hotel was in full swing, a little art and color was called for!

The series of temporary plywood murals welcomed visitors and locals alike to the downtown, sharing images and stories from our community. The murals are moved frequently as construction continues, adding a little creativity in the construction process!
