About
Not only are Taos Center for the Arts and Stables Art Gallery more vibrant venues today, they carry with them a wonderful history. The concept reaches all the way back to the 1890s and the mansion built near central Taos by an Englishman, Arthur Rockford Manby. While most historical records show that Manby acquired many of his art treasures by less-than-legal means, the Manby property did serve as the first gallery for an early art association (1950s).
