You
MUST
visit
this
Gallery
and
Garden.
I
had
a
wonderful
experience
and
it
was
free!
Yes,
it’s
free
until
all
of
2023.
When
you
first
walk
in
to
the
left
are
post-impressionist
paintings
by
Sally
Hughes
Smith:
Adrenaline
Rush
(Jul
16
-
Oct
8,
2023).
There
is
also
a
coffee
shop
with
a
sofa
and
plenty
of
tables.
There
is
outdoor
seating
with
umbrellas
on
each
side
of
entrance.
The
part
of
gallery
that’s
the
original
residence,
display
artist
like
Monet,
Degas,
Pissarro
and
more.
The
security
personnel
informed
me
that
they
rotate
the
paintings
because
too
many
to
display
at
once.
It’s
simply
beautiful.
The
traveling
exhibit
is
water
colors
by
Zao-Wou-Ki
and
some
of
his
painted
porcelain.
The
artwork
is
so
colorful
and
calming.
There
is
also
a
large
collection
of
porcelain
donated
by
Warda
Stevens
Stouts.
I
truly
appreciate
Margaret
and
Hugo
Dixon
leaving
this
space
to
highlight
art,
nature,
and
beauty!
The
garden
is
about
6
acres
and
simply
beautiful.
There
are
tables
and
benches
throughout.
Some
are
in
shaded
areas
but
be
prepared
for
mosquitoes.
One
was
buzzing
in
my
ear.
There
are
many
sculptures,
several
water
fountains.
They
have
a
outdoor
library
near
rear
parking
lot.
There
is
an
area
that
you
can
rent
for
receptions,
parties,
etc.
They
have
the
Dixon
Art
Camp
for
a
week
each
summer.
A
free
program
for
students
attending
Memphis
Shelby
County
Schools.
They
create
art
and
learn
horticulture.
It
engages
students
and
families
with
museum.
This
museum
has
many
programs
on
center
days
of
week
and
throughout
the
year.
Oh,
how
I
wish
I
lived
in
Memphis
once
again,
so
I
could
participate!
I
highly
recommend
visiting
so
that
you
can
have
the
same
wonderful
experience
as
I
did
or
better!!!
