Taos Lifestyle is UniqueTaos is the Original "Art Colony". Video (2min 21sec): Taos Lends Itself to a Unique Lifestyle - an eclectic mix of the past and present, historic and contemporary, busy yet laid back.

Life in Taos, and throughout northern New Mexico, has two unusual elements that make it like no other place - the way our history and art are infused in our daily lives.

The Taos area is a mix of Pueblo Indian, Spanish, and Anglo peoples. The Taos Pueblo people have been here for more than a thousand years; the Spanish people for more than 400 years; and, the Anglo people for a couple hundred years.

Art is an essential element of Taos. And the light -- the way the light shines during the day at this elevation and within these vast natural spaces creates a beautiful golden glow.

Artists have been awe-struck by the 'quality of light' throughout the ages here in Taos.
