THERE’S NO PLACE LIKE TAOS
Taos Creative Market was created for the artists, makers, and creative entrepreneurs of Taos County who were producing exceptional work but lacked accessible pathways to share and sell it beyond their immediate community.
We built the platform for creators whose work carried story, culture, and lived experience—designing a space where they could present their craft with integrity, connect directly with buyers, and expand their reach without losing control of their voice or process.
SHARING THE LAND OF ENCHANTMENT
Taos Creative Market was also built for those seeking more than a transaction—collectors and supporters who value authenticity and want to understand the hands and stories behind what they bring into their lives.
Showcasing the work of Lenny Foster, Ed Sandoval, Bill Curry, Ann Huston, At Home In Taos, Jeralyn Lujan Lucero, Copper Moon Gallery, Jim Keffer (Yellow House In Seco, Featured Artist), Bufflecake, Mike Vargas, and over 50 gifted artists from the Taos creative community.
Taos Creative Market was designed to make the enchanted creative work of Northern New Mexico’s premier Artisans more visible, more accessible, and more sustainable—connecting a deeply local creative community to a broader, global audience.
If you build it, he will come.
