Art On Tap

Art on Tap is a lot of fun! Tickets are $ 50 or $ 40 for Dixon members or free for Young at Art members. YAA is a membership level at the Dixon for 25 to 40 years olds, membership is $ 100 annually or $ 150 per couple. It’s a great deal because art on tap is not the only party, there is usually one in March and one in the summer plus you can visit the Dixon anytime you want.
This event in particular is a beer tasting. For an additional $ 10 you can also taste wines. In years past there were home brewers and microbreweries, now it’s mostly distributors and a few local places, still good if you like beer. There’s also various food vendors but the food does run out fast so if you’re not going to get there early don’t arrive on an empty stomach.
They do not allow beverages inside the galleries but there’s a large auditorium that usually party of the party if you need to cool down inside.

Art on Tap is a super fun event hosted by the Young at Art group at Dixon Gallery & Gardens. Each year, the Dixon brings a variety of brews for guests to sample, as well as great entertainment and exceptional food.
The atmosphere is young and hip, as Young at Art caters to the Under 40 crowd interested in the art world.
The galleries are open for viewing (but don’t even try to take your beer through them), as well as acres of beautiful gardens.
Try cuisine from Bardog, Jim ‘n Nick’s BBQ, L’ École Culinaire, McAlister’s Deli and PaPa Pia’s.
Admission is $ 40 for Dixon members and $ 50 for non-​members. You may gain free admission by joining Young at Art.

This is a fun event held every year in September at Dixon Gallery. This year’s event is September 10 from 6 – 9.
It’s a beer tasting event set in the elegant Dixon Gallery. You enjoy unlimited tastings of imported and specialty beers, food from local restaurants, the art, gardens and live music.

Restaurant options include Bardog Tavern, Jim ‘N Nick’s Bar-​B-​Q, L’École Culinaire, McAlister’s Deli, and Pa Pa Pia’s Italian Restaurant
The entertainment is the Mean Green Music Machine. It’s a fun event to attend with a group of friends and is a benefit for the gallery.
You can purchase tickets on line or at the door for $ 50.00. If you plan to go I recommend buying your tickets in advance as they often sell out.
