About PASEO
Since 2014, the Paseo Project has brought projection, performance, and installation art to the streets of Taos, New Mexico with free, community events.
The PASEO was founded in 2014 as a project of Taos Fall Arts Festival. Its original purpose was to connect the multiple venues of Fall Arts’ exhibitions with street activities to keep visitors engaged and moving.
Over the years the event has grown, from one night to two nights, hosting dozens of artists regionally, nationally, and internationally. In 2016, the PASEO team took the leap into a more sustainable model and became a 501c-3 nonprofit, The Paseo Project.
The Paseo Project offers year-round programs and events in addition to hosting the annual fall PASEO festival.
