SIDE STREET
STUDIO ARTS
Where Elgin Creates

SIDE STREET ADVANCES ENGAGEMENT IN THE ARTS BY PROVIDING INCLUSIVE ACCESS TO EXHIBITION, PERFORMANCE, EDUCATION, AND ADVOCACY RESOURCES... BECAUSE ART IS IMPORTANT.
Since our founding in 2013, Side Street Studio Arts has reinvested over $1.5 MILLION back into our community — paying artists, staff, and creative labor, strengthening local livelihoods, and generating real economic impact through the arts right here in Elgin.
Side Street provides classes, private lessons, and drop-in days for all ages! Find out about some of our current offerings here

Every year we put on a wide variety of programming within the gallery. Click here to see our current calls for art and get involved!

MADE is our storefront to sell and showcase the work of artists and craftspersons in the area. The perfect place for a unique find!
