In 2001 The Couse Foundation was formed to preserve the home and studio in Taos, New Mexico, of Eanger Irving Couse, the prominent early 20th century painter of American Indian subjects.Ê Couse was one of the founders of the Taos Art Colony and first president of the Taos Society of Artists.Ê The mission of The Couse Foundation is to preserve the Eanger Irving Couse home and studio, along with its contents and archive, as well as two studio buildings owned and used by Joseph Henry Sharp, in order to give the public an authentic window into the past and to stimulate scholarly research and training in the fields of historic preservation and Southwest art history.

The E.I. Couse Historic Home and Studio is a National Trust Associate Site.
