• Scheduling & Guidelines

  The Dixon asks that all photography and video shoots be scheduled at least three (3) days in advance and the Dixon reserves the right to turn down requests and turn away unscheduled groups for any reason. The last available booking time for photography on any day (Tues.-Sun.) is 4pm in order to ensure that photo sessions are completed and that participants are gone by closing time at 5pm. The Dixon does not normally charge a fee for shoots, however, a fee may be assessed for special requests, such as large groups or approved before-or-after hours times; special requests will not necessarily be approved. All photographer and videographer members must submit a signed copy of the Photography & Videography Policy prior to or upon check-in for their shoot.

  Scheduled shoots include the following:

  • Up to two (2) hours of time on property, during regular museum hours, on a single day for a single shoot. Please inform the Dixon if you are interested in scheduling “mini sessions” for a single day.
  • Admission for the photographer/videographer
  • Admission for two photographer/videographer assistants
  • Admission for up to 10 individuals. Larger groups may incur a fee or may be turned down, and no more than 20 total individuals are allowed at a time.
