2025 VISUAL ARTISTS ANNOUNCED

We’re proud to introduce the visual artists of the 2025 Elgin Fringe Festival—an exciting and eclectic group whose work will be on display throughout the month of September. This year’s exhibition offers a vibrant mix of styles and mediums, from richly layered acrylic and oil paintings on canvas to detailed colored pencil drawings, digital photography, and dynamic video pieces. You’ll also see imaginative photo-montages, striking cyanotypes created with sunlight, inventive mixed media compositions, and even a bronze cast sculpture.

Each artist brings a unique perspective and process to their work. To learn more about them, tap here or the button below to read their artist statements—new artists will continue to be added in the weeks ahead. 

We’ll also be featuring individual artists and their statements on social media over the next four weeks, so be sure to follow us @elginfringefestival on Instagram and Facebook. 

The 2025 Elgin Fringe Art Exhibition opens with a special reception on Thursday, September 5, at the Side Street Studio Arts Gallery and will remain on display throughout the festival, closing on September 28.
