SIDE STREET
STUDIO ARTS
Where Elgin Creates
This summer, we invite you to be part of something transformative. The Summer of 62 is an 8-week campaign supporting the future home of Side Street Studio Arts at 62 S. Grove Ave — a space where creativity, community, and accessibility will come together like never before.
With your help, we’re turning a historic downtown building into a vibrant hub for visual art, live performance, education, and cultural connection. From expanded studios and classrooms to a black box theater and flexible gallery space, this new facility will make way for innovative, inclusive programming for all ages and backgrounds.
💛 Join us each week as we share stories, progress, and opportunities to get involved. Whether you donate, share, or show up—you’re helping us make room for more art, more access, and more Elgin.
🔗 Donate. Share. Create.
Let’s build the future of Side Street—together.
