SIDE STREET
STUDIO ARTS
Where Elgin Creates
Join us every Friday at the Downtown Elgin Market for Sip 'n Shop!
This year we are offering our new collaborative beer with Penrose Brewing, "Side Street Lager", along with other Penrose brews. We will also have hard seltzers, wine, soda and water to quench your summertime thirst. AND this year, every dollar you spend with us goes directly to our new building fund for our Future Home at 62 S. Grove Ave. right here in downtown Elgin!
Every dollar you spend at Sip & Shop helps us further our mission of providing inclusive, diverse, and accessible arts programming and cultural activities to our community. So stop by and grab a cold one!
Market runs June 7 - October 11th. Hours are 3pm-8pm every Friday.
Side Street provides classes, private lessons, and drop-in days for all ages! Find out about some of our current offerings here
Every year we put on a wide variety of programming within the gallery. Click here to see our current calls for art and get involved!
MADE is our storefront to sell and showcase the work of artists and craftspersons in the area. The perfect place for a unique find!
