The Taos Institute of Arts board voted on September 27 to permanently close the school after its final class October 15, ending a run since 1988. Enrollment declines since 9/11, peaking in 2001 with 648 students and dropping to under 400 this year, left the nonprofit with little endowment and heavy reliance on tuition. The institution drew mostly out of state students and boosted Taos economy through overnight stays for six nights or more. Don Ward will teach the final painting class from October 11 to 15.
