Come by as you are, and when you are available after five on the First Thursday of each month through the end of 2018. Enjoy the art and conversation in salon fashion (a cultural event linked to literature, art or discussion. Our artists and artisans are invited to attend and invite their friends for the open house and reception. Some months we will feature our artists or artisans on other occasions. Have a request? Contact the Community Manager – Ruth Williamson.
Historically, salons are associated with French literary and philosophical movements of the 17th and 18th centuries. We won’t be speaking French, as a rule, unless you just want to, but we will gather as an Creative Community each month to make and grow our connection and collaboration opportunities. We will put some prompts on the wall and provide refreshments (or bring your own) and places to gather around the building to engage in civil discourse. Informal. Casual. Bring your own art, poems, writings, articles you’ve read. Invite others.

Colton Dixon in concert at the National Sandbass Festival
2019-06-05 20:00 - 21:30 (America/Chicago) | Downtown Madill, Courthouse Square, Madill, OK, United States
Tennessee native Colton Dixon first caught the attention of his fans on season eleven of “American Idol.” Placing seventh on the popular music competition, Colton is now following in the footsteps of fellow Idol alums Mandisa and Jason Castro, by venturing into the world of Christian music.
Colton started singing as a teen, and always wanted to use his gift for ministry. “I started singing when I was 13 years old. I truly believe my voice was a gift from God to share the Message,” he says. “I hope that you enjoy my music, but furthermore, I hope you can connect with it personally and apply it to your everyday lives.”
During his time on Idol, Colton sang a powerful rendition of “Everything,” by Lifehouse – a song that has special significance to him. “‘Everything’ by Lifehouse is one of my favorite worship songs of all time,” he said. “I was on YouTube and I saw a skit that someone had done with the song and it was so powerful! I can’t watch it with out crying…it’s so impacting! I saw ‘American Idol’ as an opportunity to bring the same impact to the viewers on the show.”
