Peter Hurd was an American painter, muralist, illustrator and writer, born on February 22nd in Roswell, New Mexico. Hurd was a founding member of the New Mexico Arts Commission. He is best known for his landscapes of the West and portraits of the people who lived there, especially in the area of San Patricio, New Mexico. Hurd was educated at New Mexico Military Institute from 1917-20. He was appointed to West Point Military Academy but resigned in 1923 to peruse an artistic career. He moved to Pennsylvania, where he took classes at Philadelphia Academy of Fine Art and private lessons from artist N.C. Wyeth in Chadds Ford. His studies with Wyeth would change his life in more than one way, as he fell in love with Wyeth's daughter, Henriette, and married her in 1929.

TFA

The Mission of the Taos Fall Arts Festival is to celebrate the visual arts and artists in Taos County, to encourage the growth of emerging artists, and to create an event where our artists can come together to exhibit and market their works for the delight and appreciation of the larger community.

The Taos Fall Arts Festival began in 1974 as a venue staged at the homes of patrons who wished to promote local art. As it grew in popularity, TFAF expanded into larger venues, Invitational and Juried Exhibits and has developed into an Open Exhibition for over 250 Taos County artists. The annual festival quickly began attracting compatible events such as pop up partnerships, music, dance and performance. Yet, despite the changes to that have occurred over the decades, TFAF’s mission has remained constant: celebrate the visual arts and artists in Taos County, encourage the growth of emerging artists, and continue an event where artists can come together to exhibit and market their works for the delight and appreciation of the larger community.

Much of what has recently made TFAF so dynamic can be attributed to changes wrought over the last several years, including the addition of new partnerships such as The PASEO and the Taos Environmental Film Festival. Both have brought new energy to the venerable institution, appealing as they do to wider audiences across the region and the country.
