EXPLORE DOWNTOWN ELGIN PUBLIC ART

The City of Elgin has defined itself as a “City of the Arts” thanks to the work of the Elgin Cultural Arts Commission (ECAC). This group facilitates the cataloging of Elgin public art and are responsible for maintaining and overseeing the collection to better serve the community. Through the New Works Program, new pieces of public art are installed every year! In addition to the growth in public art by acquiring new pieces, the ECAC has created programs to encourage unique public art displays such as the Spontaneous Art Wall, Utility Box Wrapping, Storm Drain painting, and more. Begin your exploration of Elgin public art by browsing the gallery below. We hope you enjoy and make plans to enjoy our beautiful Elgin public art pieces in-person very soon!
