“Oo-Oo-Nah” means “Children” in Tiwa, the Language of the Taos Pueblo (Place of The Red Willow People) in northern New Mexico. Oo-Oo-Nah Art & Cultural Center provides the Taos Pueblo Community the gift of traditional and contemporary Arts and Culture to the Children, Youth, Young Adults and Senior Citizens, through our programs: The Heritage Project: Tiwa Language, Culture, History, and Art Program and The Young Artist Workshop Series - “Art for the Fun of It.”

The Center was founded in about 1985 and Marie Reyna became its Director. We became a 501(c)(3) in 2016. After Marie’s passing in 2022, the Staff came back together and reopened the Center with the intention of continuing the programs for the Taos Pueblo Community and especially the Children. The Staff reached out to some of the People around Taos and put together a 5 member Board of Directors, who support and help the Staff.
