Pearls Before Swine Is Back!EAA is proud to announce our 2021 Pearls Before Swine event will be held at the Clever Tiger at 32 N Main Street in the heart of downtown Elgin. We are Back! We are red and ready to get back into the public viewing of art again for our annual art show in conjunction with the Hogeye Festival.
Pearls Before Swine is a juried art show that awards cash prizes for first, second and third places as well as the popular “peoples choice” award. Pearls is always a popular event featuring the art show, the silent auction fundraiser as well as live music and food and drink. This year's gala is scheduled for Thursday, October 21 from 6 to 9 p.m. Pearls Before Swine is the primary fundraiser for the Elgin Arts Association. Each year the Arts Association awards cash scholarships to area students who intend to pursue arts related studies. There will be many opportunities for area merchants and individuals to help sponsor this event and provide items for the silent auction.
