Sorry! We don't have any recommendations for Taos right now.
Retail options on Taos Plaza consist mostly of T-shirt emporiums and souvenir shops that are easily bypassed, though a few stores carry quality Native American artifacts and jewelry. The more distinctive galleries and boutiques begin barely a block north on Bent Street, including the John Dunn House Shops, and extend just east on Kit Carson Road (U.S. 64). You'll find another notable cluster of galleries and shops, along with a few good restaurants, up north in Arroyo Seco.
If you have time for just one contemporary gallery, make a point of stopping in this building displaying works by some of the area's most celebrated artists, including Barbara Zaring, David Hettinger, Doug Dawson, and Melinda Littlejohn. Themes vary greatly from abstract paintings and sculptures to more traditional landscapes and regional works.
