DIXON – Downtown Dixon organizations will host the 3rd Second Saturdays Art Happenings. Second Saturdays in April was even bigger than the first. In April, Distinctive Gardens sponsored a community photography contest, “Second Saturdays Snap-a-Thon” in which people were invited to snap shots of April’s Second Saturdays festivities and upload their favorite to the Second Saturdays Facebook page. The public voted for People’s Choice using Facebook’s “like” button. April’s Second Saturdays “Snap-a-Thon” winner was Patricia Barrile of Dixon who won a gift certificate to Distinctive Gardens after she snapped a shot of John DeLong during a quick break from his painting demonstration.

"Second Saturdays" Gallery Walks starting in Dixon |
|
Wednesday, 17 February 2010 20:00 |
DIXON – Several downtown Dixon organizations have teamed up to offer a monthly gallery hop called, “Second Saturdays Art Happenings”. Each second Saturday various businesses will showcase art, music, and/or theater events. The goal is to enliven the downtown and get people out walking to see what’s going on in their cultural community.
The Second Saturdays idea was sparked after a coincidence of opening nights with The Crystal Cork Art Quarterly and The Next Picture Show. An impromptu “gallery walk” ensued and both venues were packed. Afterwards, a lively Internet Facebook discussion between Rick Munson, photographer, and Lisa Higby LeFevre, artist and owner of Distinctive Gardens, got the idea rolling.
