Art Walk is in Elgin's Historic Downtown district and takes place in existing commercial galleries, non-profit arts spaces and what are called "other walls," restaurants and retail stores. Each exhibits art and welcomes viewers with open doors, later hours and refreshments. One of Elgin's newest programs for promoting the city as an Arts Destination, Art Walk, promotes all kinds of art and artists, offers alternative places to see and learn about art and hopes to bring newcomers, as well as welcome return visitors to the growing arts community in the city.

Short workshops in different artistic disciplines will be available
for reasonable prices: $20 - $40. Some workshops will be only 2
hours long, others will be all day Saturday or Sunday.
Currently, there are teachers lined up for workshops on on polymer clay, watercolor painting, collage, stained glass, pottery and photography.
Some workshops will be children only, some will be adults only and some will be adults and children together. Each workshop will produce a particular product - in other words, the person who takes the workshop will walk away with a clay pot they made, or a painting of a giraffe.
