Through the Lens of Taos Day School 2026 opens October 21, with a fun closing celebration on Halloween. Through the Lens reverses the camera’s “gaze” to showcase the perspectives of students at the Taos Pueblo school who participated in a photography workshop this spring. All the prints will be available for sale with proceeds going to the young artists themselves. The workshop and exhibition are supported by Carol and Rich Rinehart and the Taos Pueblo Day School Arts Education Fund, an initiative of CSHS, Mark Maggiori, and Parsons Fine Art.

Students focused their cameras on wildlife (and pets), landscapes, and portraits, with the ultimate goal of documenting their world, and participated in critiques on their work. At the end of the course, they each submitted several photographs, and a curatorial committee selected the exhibited images.

Through the Lens aims for the students’ success to encourage and empower them and other youth at Taos Pueblo, demonstrating the transformative power of art.
