2025 Summer 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 and low cost arts programming in 2025. These classes are made free or low 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.

Wayfinding

Who are you? What path will you choose? How will you know when you arrive? We are always evolving and finding our way…one day at a time! Young Artists will focus on expressing who they are in their artistry in the present. They are beginning to find their own way.

This should sum up the week well!

Cultural Americana

Our city and country is diverse! It is what makes us so beautiful. We might not all sing the same note…or play the same instrument…but it is important to find harmony among one another.  This week young artists will explore the background that helped define them.
