Jones Walker of Taos — Attraction in Taos

The Jones Walker Gallery in Taos sits on Bent Street, a low adobe building with a pulse. You step inside, and the air shifts—cool, quiet, bursting with color. Paintings hang bold and unapologetic, each a story of the desert, the sky, the people. Max Jones, one of the owners, moves among them, his eyes sharp. You meet him, and it’s not just a handshake—it’s a moment, raw and real, like the art on the walls.

Max’s work is fun, vibrant, canvases alive with intriguing characters—figures that dance with the sun’s heat, wild and untamed. Other artists fill the space with their own visions, alive with the light of Taos. Much to discover in all the rooms, the art doesn’t just hang—it speaks. It demands.

We ended up leaving with a piece of pottery from Clay Hicks, but regardless of whether your intent is to purchase anything, there is a wealth of knowledge and hospitality at Jones Walker of Taos -- make...

Our annual trip to New Mexico found us spending more time in Taos. There are so many gorgeous galleries BUT none of them compare to Jones Walker. From the minute you walk in and have your senses inspire with smell and sound…..to the minute you get to interact with the owners Tony and Max….wow. Just wow. The conversation and ambiance led us to purchase this lovely piece from one of Taos finest painters. None of this would have happened if it weren’t for Jones Walker! Thank you Tony, Max and Beth for a memorable experience and we can’t wait to come back next year to see what you...
