Our Ninth Biennial Gala & Art Sale Weekend
Benefiting COUSE-SHARP HISTORIC SITE
June 5-6, 2026 | Taos, New Mexico, USA
Steve and Kathleen Elliott, Host Committee Co-Chairs
Join us to celebrate the national treasure that is the historic site, and be part of the biggest and best art sale we’ve ever offered!
Your ticket admits you to all weekend events, includes a set of sale ballots, and supports our many programs.
Ticket-only packages and sponsorship packages available. Reserve soon—we may sell out! Ticket sales close May 8, or when reservations are full.
NOTE: If you cannot attend the Gala but wish to purchase a draw sale/auction remote participant ballot set, those will become available April 17 when the exhibition opens and LaLuzdeTaos.org is fully operational so you can see the artwork.
