Summer 2023 Youth Arts Ed
Virtual Exhibition
Every year Side Street Studio Arts has the pleasure of hosting children of varying ages for summer arts education programs. Each week the young artists create work around that week's theme and also enjoy some fun in the sun with fellow young artists! Side Street runs its own programming and partners with School District U-46 to bring art to an even larger community.​
​
Side Street is thrilled to offer all programming free of charge for those located within 10 miles of our downtown Elgin location. We hope that this allows even more young artists to find their creative voice through exploration. We are thrilled to continue this free programming in 2023. This has been a dream of ours since opening Side Street in 2013. These classes are absolutely free of cost to families in our area. If you are able to support this programming with any size donation, please visit us HERE.

Follow along here each week to see what our young artists get up to!
