OUR MISSION:
Our Vision is to Encourage the Creation and Appreciation of Visual Art in the Elgin and Fox Valley Area.
WHAT WE ARE ABOUT...
Art for All was established in 1996 to encourage and promote local artists. In 1998 we became a 501C.3 non-profit organization to bring artists and the public together. We are a community-minded art group with a diversity of talent from all walks of life.
Art is for everyone!
Art for All has two-dimensional and three-dimensional artists working in almost every medium. In our Art Collection of you will see Watercolors, Oils, Pastels, Charcoal, Fiber, Glass, Mosaics, Metal, Jewelry, Pen and Ink, Mixed Media, Photography and much more.. |

| VENUES |
Art for All members have an opportunity to exhibit their art, with no commission fees, at a variety of local locations.
Currently we have rotating shows at Elgin City Hall, Sherman Hospital, The Centre of Elgin, Carswells Flooring, Hawthorn Hill Nature Center, and The Association for Individual Development.
Art for All members also have the opportunity to show works at the annual Winter Show in the main lobby of the Gail Borden Library.
The annual AAUW Art Showcase is now Art and Soul on the fox.
This art fair is always held the first weekend in August in conjunction with the FoxFireFest. The new location for Art and Soul on the fox will be DuPage Court and Grove Avenue, in downtown Elgin, just north of Festival Park. The City of Elgin and Art for All are the main sponsors.
This is a much sought after juried Art Fair and all artists are encouraged to submit their work. Cash prizes up to $1,800 by Art for All, and purchase awards up to $2,000 by the ECAC, are made by selected jurors.
We continually look to find new spaces for our artists to show their work.

| MEETINGS |
We invite artists and non-artists to join us at our monthly meetings.
Our General Meeting is held the second Tuesday of each month at the Elgin Community Church located at 991 Deborah Ave in Elgin.
We begin with a social half hour for networking, at 7:00 pm and our speaker or program starts at 7:30pm. Meetings rotate between demonstrations, guest speakers, art lectures, videos, and critique sessions.
Our Board Meeting is held the first Wednesday of each month.
The Board meets at Sandy Kaptain's home located at 749 Scott, Elgin, IL 60123.
Meetings begin at 7:00pm.
Membership information and forms may be received at one of our meetings or by emailing us at info@artforall-elgin.com.
Artists are creative and individualistic by nature, but by working in a group we can get more done than doing it alone.
We welcome new members...artists and non-artists alike.
Come help us help you.
All for One and One for All = AFA. |
