Dixon Studio Tour

The Dixon Studio Tour is the oldest continuously-running studio tour in northern New Mexico. It occurs annually in the fall in the Embudo Valley,[1] and encompassing Dixon, Rinconada, Embudo, Apodaca and Cañoncito, and Cuestacitas.[2]

During the tour, workshops in areas such as blacksmithing, hand-building in clay, raku, stone carving, painting and poetry are offered.[2]

History

During the Nixon administration (1969–1974), a number of artists moved to Dixon. Their works were represent by galleries and museums outside of Dixon.[1]

The first Dixon Studio Tour was held in 1982. The tour was conceived by potter Nausika Richardson (1942-2011), who was inspired by "La Cienega de Santa Fe", the Santa Fe Studio Tour. The initial tour of 23 stops with 32 artists drew an unexpected 2,000 visitors.[1]

In 2011, the tour celebrated its 30th anniversary, accompanied by the publication of a limited edition book of essays, designed by David Grey,[3] putting the tour in historical context.[1]
