Lectures are held at the Taos Center for the Arts Community Auditorium.
All events are free and open to the public.
Lectures begin every Wednesday at 7:00pm, followed by a question and answer period from 8:00pm to 8:30pm.
The purpose of the ten week SMU/UNM-Taos Lecture Series is to share information and ideas about the Taos area – its diverse history, culture, agriculture, arts, mythos, and terrain – with local residents and visitors. We do this through a series of Wednesday evening lectures given by invited speakers who have in-depth knowledge and experience about one or more of these aspects of Taos. Many of the Lectures are enhanced with visual presentations and will appeal to both young people and adults.
The goal is to have those in attendance gain deeper appreciation of Taos and, more broadly, to strengthen our community bonds and stimulate dialogue and reflection among faculty, students and the wider community.
One week in the series is dedicated tot the Fall Harvest Festival – a celebration with music, food, dance, performances, and demonstrations.
The lectures are free and open to all members of the community.
