Taos Center for the Arts
On Wednesday September 10, 2025, PechaKucha Taos made an incredible comeback after a four year pause at The Taos Center for the Arts. Co-heads Jay Vosper and Jessica Thomas, two Taos locals, set out to revive this global storytelling event with a couple of new twists including organizing a special musical guest and providing food as well as dessert from local businesses. Garry Blackchild brought the house down with country folk live music before the presentations and at intermission, Aceq Restaurant cooked up delicious tacos before the show, and A Salty Little Sweet Shop left zero cookie crumbs during intermission. Every presenter spoke from the heart and got a standing ovation including Price Valentine, David Vargo, Summer Duran, Lyle Wright, Julie Cloutman, Mira Betz, Nadine Lollino, Liz Van Voorhis, and Elija Safford. Thank you to all of our presenters and partners for making a memorable night happen. Thank you to Chris Thomas for the beautiful graphics. And a big thank you to Arroyo Seco Live, our generous sponsor for the event. Check out the live presentations on YouTube @pechakuchataos and save the date for the winter event on Wednesday 12/10 at the TCA.
