For SVN DIXON – The Sauk Valley
Arts and Culture Commission will host
variety shows at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 22-23 at
the Historic Dixon Theatre. The
commission is looking for more acts,
such as musicians, bands, dancers,
magicians and comedians. The sign-up
deadline is Aug. 31. Contact Darrin Vits
at 815-973-5812 or e-mail
vitsvisioncare@yahoo.com.
The commission has been working
quietly over the past year meeting,
forming an executive council, creating a
mission statement, setting goals, and
beginning projects.
Its mission is to support, promote, and
cultivate all of the arts and cultural events
in the Sauk Valley area.
The Art and Culture Commission is
tackling two of its initial goals: to
organize a directory of all artists in the
Sauk Valley, and to produce a central
calendar where anyone can announce an
event, showing, meeting, etc. having
anything to do with art or culture in the
Sauk Valley.
To do this, Sauk Valley Arts and Culture
Commission has launched its website,
www.
saukvalleyartsandculturecommission.org.
The site includes general information, an
online directory and event calendar.
Users can submit listings.
While the commission was created by
ordinance in Dixon, there currently is no
funding being awarded by the city. The
variety show serves as a fundraiser.
Tickets will be available at area
locations beginning in September for
$10 for adults (13 and older) and $5 for
children. Kids 3 and younger will be
admitted for free. Tickets at the door will
be $12 for adults and $7 for children.
