Шаблон:Short description 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]

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]
There was a virtual tour in 2020, and in 2021 the tour returned as in-person event.
