Where Elgin Creates
CSA: Community Supported Art
Community Supported Art is an exciting new model of art support and distribution for artists that establishes relationships with local collectors and patrons.
Side Street Studio Arts' Community Supported Art (CSA) program creates a direct, sustainable link between artists and community members by offering original artwork in a share-based model. Shareholders receive curated works by local artists across three seasons, while participating artists are compensated and connected to new audiences.
The CSA program will strengthen the local arts economy, expand access to original art, and celebrate the vibrant creativity of our community.
