About our Organization
Art for All is a 501c3 nonprofit organization created for the purpose of encouraging Fox Valley artists and connecting their talent with those in the Elgin community. On the first weekend of August each year, Art for All, in conjunction with the City of Elgin, coordinates the Art and Soul on the Fox art fair in downtown Elgin. Through its scholarship program, Art for All also provides scholarships to students who are participating in the summer Visual Arts camps held at Northern Illinois University. AFA is a community-minded group with a wide diversity of talent from every imaginable artistic medium. Our members come from all walks of life and include those with a great deal of artistic experience, those who are emerging artists, and those who simply appreciate art and wish to assist in the promotion of it in within the community. While artists are individualistic by nature, our group of dedicated members has been able to accomplish much more together than any individual could possibly do on their own while creating a support system based on encouragement and knowledge.
