Explore Elgin Area is thrilled to partner with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley to bring the area the Art Sculpture Trail.
This initiative isn’t just about beautiful art; it’s about showcasing talented local artists, exploring our vibrant communities, and supporting a vital cause: affordable housing and environmental preservation through Habitat for Humanity’s Carter Crossing project.
What is the Art Sculpture Trail?
This summer, more than 30 stunning art exhibits are taking center stage across several communities in the Elgin area. Each sculpture is a unique creation by local artists, all contributing to a new outdoor public art event designed to promote Habitat for Humanity of Northern Fox Valley’s Carter Crossing project. This ambitious initiative is dedicated to environmental preservation and providing safe, affordable housing options in Carpentersville.
