Riverside Drive, Elgin, IL

AREA 22 Arts, Crafts, and Oddities Fair will showcase the creations and collections of visual artists in the Elgin area.

Side Street Studio Arts invites you to participate in the first of this one-of-a-kind event in Downtown Elgin.

The AREA 22 festival will take place on Riverside Drive, showcasing the creations and collections of visual artists in the area. Additionally, AREA 22 will feature artist exhibition and sale, live art/sculpture making, entertainment, food vendors, beverages… and fun for the whole family.

Free admission and parking. Rain or shine.

For those who can remember, think of AREA 22 as Art and Soul on The Fox meets Next Wave, a mix of the traditional fine-art fair concept, with a generous dusting of the eclectic and avant-garde.

So, grab your kids, your parents, your neighbors, your pets…yes, dogs and snakes are allowed…and attend the most exciting art fair you will ever experience.
