Other venues were the Corcoran Gallery Biennial (1923), Philadelphia Art Club (1928), Bower Gallery, NYC (solo, 1930), Woodmere Art Gallery, Graphic Sketch Club, National Academy of Design (1930), Allied Artists of America (1944), Da Vinci Alliance (gold medal, 1959), and Philadelphia Art Alliance.

Taylor was close friends with Arthur B.Carles (1882-1952), one of Philadelphia's seminal modernist painters who allied himself with the Fauvist movement when he lived and worked in Paris from 1907-19. French Fauvism, literally meaning "wild beasts", refers to the paintings characterized by "an orgy of pure color", which were exhibited in Paris at the Salon d'Automne in 1905.
