SUMMARY:All the World's A Stage Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:Presented in partnership with The Dixon: Historic Theatre\, this brand-new exhibition invites artists to explore the people\, places\, and experiences that deserve the spotlight in their lives. \nInspired by Shakespeare’s famous phrase\, the exhibition encourages artists to interpret what takes center stage in their world. For some\, that may be a literal stage filled with music\, theater\, dance\, or performance. For others\, it may be a favorite landscape\, a hometown landmark\, a quiet corner of nature\, or a scene that captures the spirit of community. Through original two-dimensional artwork\, artists are invited to share their unique interpretation of the theme. \nShow Sponsor\nThe Dixon Historic Theatre is this show’s partner and sponsor. We are thankful and grateful for this endeavor together. \nNew for 2026: The Dixon Purchase Award\nA special Dixon Purchase Award will debut as part of the 2026 All the World’s a Stage exhibition. Selected by the staff of The Dixon: Historic Theatre\, the award-winning artwork will be purchased for the theatre’s collection. To be eligible\, artwork must be offered for sale; entries designated NFS (Not For Sale) will not be considered. \nWhile any eligible work may be selected\, artists are encouraged to explore the performing arts and the historic theatre itself as sources of inspiration. The Dixon welcomes artists who wish to create work based on details\, architecture\, or views found within the building and invites them to visit during regular business hours. Artists needing access outside of normal hours may contact the theatre to arrange a visit.

SUMMARY:Last Man Standing- The Last Meadow
DESCRIPTION:The Last Meadow is the inaugural event of the Lifted Nation Endurance Series a faith-fueled\, community-centered Last Man Standing (Backyard Ultra) race hosted by Lifted Nation Institute\, Inc.\, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. \nIn a Last Man Standing format\, every runner completes the same 4.167-mile loop\, which begins at the top of each hour. Runners who fail to finish a loop and return to the start corral before the next hour’s gun are eliminated. The race continues until only one runner remains that runner is declared the winner. There is no predetermined finish line. The Last Meadow ends only when one person is left standing. \nThe event draws inspiration from the backyard ultra discipline pioneered by Lazarus Lake\, adapted here with a faith and community mission at its core. Every lap completed lifts a local cause proceeds from The Last Meadow support charitable initiatives in the Dixon\, Illinois area.
