Retreat from the modern day. Experience all that Taos has to offer. You don’t need a map to find sacred places in Taos, they’re everywhere—on well-traveled roads to the historic Taos Pueblo, along a winding alley to a gallery or workshop, in a colorful shrine tucked into an adobe wall, and in the sound of the Rio Grande as it rushes down the canyon. Taos is the result of centuries of history and a fusion of diverse cultures that create a unique town full of unforgettable places and memories. 2010 is a celebration of all Taos' history and culture - combined with an invitation to come and enjoy in Taos what is most sacred to you.  We are kicking off this celebration with the first ever Taos Festival of Art and Architecture. Featuring art exhibits, architecture tours, lectures and other "experience" offerings, the highlight of the festival will be the annual mudding of the San Francis de Asís Church in Ranchos de Taos. The church, listed in 2009 by yahoo.com as one of the "Top 10 Places to See Before You Die" and famously captured by Georgia O’Keefe, Ansel Adams and other internationally beloved artists, is given a new coat of hand-applied abobe "plaster" each summer by an army of volunteers. Visitors are invited to experience with the volunteers the hard work it took parishioners to build the church over a 40 year period and what it takes to maintain the nearly 200-year-old church. Schedule a trip to Taos from June 7-19 to take part in the mudding of San Francis de Asís; bring clothes that you might wear for gardening and prepare to get muddy. You will be welcomed and tutored by some of the friendliest people you’ve ever met. The mayordomo (the church steward) plans an orientation to the mudding technique for first-time volunteers on June 7. For more information, call the church office at (575) 758-2754 . Another must-see event connected to the church mudding is a juried art show of images of San Francis of Asís that opens May 11 at the Taos Community Auditorium’s Encore Gallery.
