2025 Artist in Residence: The Paseo Project, Taos, NM

The Paseo Project Artist in Residence Fellowship provides an opportunity for artists to envision, develop, and execute their work with the community of Taos, New Mexico. This project-based residency is set within a rural environment steeped in history, art, and culture. The Paseo Project holds to the tradition of bringing artists from around the world to both inspire and be inspired.

Selected artists are offered a 2-4 week residency between April-November 2025. The fellowship includes use of a private studio/office space, private accommodations (a one-bedroom suite on site at Hotel Willa with kitchenette, located downtown five minutes from Taos Plaza), and a stipend of up to $2,000 depending on the number of weeks in residence. On-site restaurant discounts and vouchers are also provided. Working closely with the organization and local collaborators, artists will have the opportunity to research, design, and perform their work in the high desert of Northern New Mexico. A bike is available for use during the residency; a car is recommended as public transportation is limited.

Artists are asked to conduct a community engagement project and share, present, or install their work at the culmination of their stay or during the annual PASEO Festival in the fall. The program is open to emerging, mid-career, and professional artists from anywhere in the world. Application requirements include a project statement, project proposal, artist bio/resume/CV, and 3-5 reference images. Entry fee is $20.
