A little trip through the archives 📼

Peace, love, and Art on the Rocks! Did you know that with a Young at Art Membership, you receive free admission to Art on the Rocks? While we didn't have Art on the Rocks back in 1995, our Young at Art members still knew how to party! ✌️

You don't have to know anything about art to visit an art museum. You don't have to know the scientific name of a flower to think it's beautiful.

You don't need a plan when you come to the Dixon, but if you want one, try color hunting!

08/26/2026

Join us for Fiber Arts Open Studio, a monthly gathering for fiber artists, crafters, and curious beginners alike. Bring your yarn, fabric, stitching, weaving, mending, or any handmade project and enjoy an evening of creativity and conversation with fellow makers.

Come share ideas, swap inspiration, and make something wonderful in a welcoming studio setting.

August 27 | 5:30–7:30 PM | Ages 16+ | Free
