When you make a gift to the Taos Art Museum, every dollar goes straight to the preservation of the Fechin House and Studio, exhibitions, educational experiences, and beloved events. Through your donation, you directly impact the visitors and artists who find inspiration here.
There are many ways to contribute:
➡ Give to the Annual Fund Gifts to the Annual Fund are critical to the health and vitality of the museum as we strive to preserve Nicolai Fechin’s important legacy for current and future generations to enjoy. Annual Fund donations are 100% tax-deductible and are used to meet the areas of greatest need across the museum.
Whatever amount you choose to give, your contribution will help care for Nicolai Fechin's historic House and Studio, the beautiful gardens, permanent collections (which includes work by Nicolai Fechin, the Taos Society of Artists, Taos Moderns, and more!), as well as exhibitions and programs for you and the community to enjoy.
Contribute online now, or mail your gift to: Taos Art Museum Annual Fund, 227 Paseo del Pueblo Norte, Taos, NM, 87571.
➡ Help Build the Museum's Future with a Gift to the Capital Campaign For the first time in Taos Art Museum's history, we are embarking on a capital campaign to build new facilities that will securely house and display our world-class art collection. Our goal is to raise $2,000,000 to build and equip the new structures. With 100% board support and incredible gifts from community leaders, we have reached 80% of our goal!
Among these generous contributions is the largest single gift in our history made by Janis and Roy Coffee, Jr. — a $1.2 million cash investment in the Museum's promising future and a donation of 150 extraordinary paintings and drawings by Taos masters. Through this incredible donation, they have illustrated their belief in the promise of Taos Art Museum's future and have expressed hope that their philanthropy will inspire others to contribute.

➡ Gifts of Art Taos Art Museum welcomes gifts of museum-quality art consistent with the focus of its collections and mission. If you are interested in donating art, please email us a photograph with as much information as possible, including the artist's name, date of creation, title, medium, size, and provenance. As much as we would love to accept all donations, our space is limited, and not all gifts fit within our scope and mission. For legal and ethical reasons, we are unable to provide appraisal services. Additionally, to avoid any conflicts of interest, the Museum cannot provide referrals for specific appraisers. However, the American Society of Appraisers can help you locate an ASA-accredited appraiser, and the International Society of Appraisers provides a free appraiser referral service.
