Summer 2024 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!

​

We are thrilled to continue our FREE programming in 2024. This has been a dream of ours since opening Side Street in 2013. These classes are absolutely free of cost to families located within 10 miles of our downtown Elgin location. If you are able to support this programming with any size donation, please visit us HERE.

K-6 & U46: Under the Sea

This class focused on sea creatures, the ocean and beach, and all things aquatic, creating artworks exploring the world under the sea.

7-12: The Art of Painting

Artists worked closely with instructors to learn about various painting techniques as well as understanding different paint materials.

This should sum up the week well!

Artist of the Week:
Zoe X.

Zoe worked to come out of her shell and really enjoyed week 1 of summer art ed! She has been helpful and has been getting along with everyone. She also makes sure her siblings are okay.

 

Congrats Zoe!
