Community Celebration: Pursuit Of Happiness: GI Bill In Taos

Join us for a FREE celebration for the opening of Pursuit of Happiness: GI Bill in Taos.

Flashback to post WWII era and come dance the night away with Swing Dance lessons and Swing music by Albuquerque based Burque Jazz Bandits.

This event is free and open to the public.

Pursuit of Happiness: GI Bill in Taos refocuses the story of post-World War II artistic movements by highlighting those artists working, communing, and connecting in Taos from 1945 onward. These artists founded the next great wave of abstraction that took root in the region, bringing their vast creativity and international connections to the community. Highlighting works from Harwood Museum of Art’s permanent collection and sourcing significant loans regionally and nationally, this exhibition tells the story of how Taos contributed to conversations and explorations in the national art scene during the post-World War II period.
