Join us for an afternoon of sharing, creativity, and connection!
During Small Business Saturday on November 29, Side Street Studio Arts will host the Holiday edition of The Weave, an open-market event where artists and community members can sell, swap, or give away handmade items, found treasures, and gently used clothing. This event is designed to foster a collaborative space where we can share our art and resources while building community.
We are also participating in the Downtown Neighborhood Association's Holiday Beverage Crawl - purchase your cups and check out other participants here!
Due to high demand, we’re adding another date for The Weave! The first date filled up fast — so we’re thrilled to announce an encore event on Saturday, December 6th, from 1–5 PM!
There will be different vendors at both dates - list coming soon!
THIS EVENT IS FREE TO ATTEND
THIS EVENT IS UPSTAIRS AND NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE.
The Weave was initiated in early 2025 as part of Explorations of Equity in the Arts in Elgin, a Side Street Studio Arts initiative supported by Healing Illinois. This program was designed to empower and uplift artists of color through curated exhibitions, artist-driven merchandise, and community workshops. By fostering artistic collaboration, economic opportunities, and racial equity in the arts, The Weave brings people together to celebrate creativity and resource-sharing.
