Couse-Sharp Historic Site

Welcome to Couse-Sharp Historic Site, a 2+ acre site in Taos, New Mexico, USA. Discover two visionary painters whose art captured the Southwest, and the cultural milieu that inspired them. Explore the home and studios of E. I. Couse and J. H. Sharp, founding members of the Taos Society of Artists. These two painters helped create the cultural fabric of the American West as we know it today.

In person or on our channel, visit the Couse home and see how these pioneer painters lived. Stand at Couse’s easel, see the model’s stage and props. All remains as it was 100 years ago. Witness this unbroken chain of history as it is preserved into the future, with the restoration of Sharp’s 1915 studio and the building of a new archive and research center.
