Art on the Rocks

Art on the Rocks is the Dixon’s annual summer tasting event, bringing together local restaurants, breweries, beverage makers, and entertainers for an unforgettable evening in the gardens. Spend the night sampling craft beer, botanical cocktails, wine, spirits, and non-alcoholic beverages while enjoying bites from Memphis favorites, live music, interactive experiences, and after-hours access to the gardens.  

2026 Theme: Back to the ’70s 

The Dixon was founded in 1976, making this year’s Art on the Rocks a celebration of the museum’s 50th anniversary. Join us as we travel back to the decade that started it all with a colorful tribute to the 1970s.  

Dust off your tie-dye, flared pants, bold prints, platform shoes, or your favorite disco-inspired look, and celebrate an unforgettable evening of food, drinks, music, and community in true ’70s style.
