Tom and Bev Taylor (Farmington) arts supporters who have committed their lives to making space and building communities for artists in Farmington, including renovation of the historic Lumber and Hardware building into a vibrant arts center as well as making several donations to buildings around Farmington.
Community creativity and public service are integral to Tom and Bev's lives. They studied art, art history, and architecture at University of New Mexico, and designed and built their own home. After that, they were determined to find ways to support the arts communities and organizations in Farmington they were a part of. Their renovation of the historic Lumber and Hardware building into a vibrant art center was a key aspect of that effort. Other projects include the donation of the hand carved doors for the children's reading room at the Farmington Public Library and the renovation of the historic Totah Theater.
