Lush lilacs tumbling over the soft glow of an adobe wall served as the symbol for the 2007 Taos Spring Arts Celebration. “Lilac Time” is the creation of world renowned artist Nancy St. Lawrence and the image became the poster advertising and commemorating the Spring Arts Celebration that ran the entire month of May 2007.
