DIXON – A fundraiser to save Rosbrook Studio will be Saturday, March 9, at the Dixon Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 540, 1560 Route 38, Dixon.

Rosbrook Studio, 107 S. Peoria Ave., is a venue for music and the arts in downtown Dixon. Run by volunteers and donations since 2011, it provides a space for artists to display their work and has hosted everything from local high school bands to international touring acts, with a monthly all-ages, open-mic event in which countless musicians have stepped onstage for the first time.

A structural issue with the building that houses the venue forced it to temporarily close its doors in March 2023. According to a news release, its organizers have just received 501(c)(3) status and are working to raise money to pay ongoing expenses and to purchase the building and make the necessary repairs so it can reopen.

The goal is to turn the entire building into a community center for arts and music that will benefit Dixon and the Sauk Valley area for years to come.

The fundraiser will be a day of music, art, food and drinks to raise money. Doors open at 2:30 p.m., and music begins at 3. There also will be a 50/50 drawing.

Wire-wrapped crystal and stone jewelry from Stoned and Wired will be available.
