VISUAL ARTS
Through the generous support of the Reva & David Logan Foundation, Side Street Studio Arts, NFP is embarking on an exciting transition - moving to a permanent location in downtown Elgin! Our future home, located at 62 S. Grove Ave., will allow our exhibition, performance, education, and advocacy programs to all live under one roof, offer greater accessibility for all, and quadruple our space.
The Logan Foundation has purchased this historic riverfront building and will rent it back to Side Street for a nominal amount. This will save our organization approximately $50,000 per year, which can go back into programming and paying artists. That said, we have grand plans for build-out and programming growth, and we need your help!
Your tax-deductible donation of any size will help us.

June 2023 Update
We are excited to announce our 62 BOUND: Fundraising for The Arts summer series! Each month we will showcase programming we currently run that will benefit from expansion of our new facility.
Also, we are working with architects and engineers planning Phase 1 of the project, fundraising to develop the facility in 3 stages/phases. Phase 1 will be the completion of the ground floor for exhibition and performance with the goal of occupancy and space usage by June 2024.

The asbestos has been removed, the roof is finished, and, we are getting ready to start some major renovations. But first, we want you to see this beautiful old building as it is.
Side Street Directors and Staff will be there to show you around, talk future plans, and answer any questions you may have.
