Elgin

 

The Elgin Artspace Lofts project was driven by the city of Elgin and its arts community, working with Artspace to create a unique and inspiring space for artists to live and work. By providing permanently affordable spaces, we believe that Elgin's emerging arts and culture cluster can be strengthened, while also serving as a catalyst for continued development and growth in the downtown area.

At Elgin Artspace Lofts, we understand that the arts are a vital part of any thriving community, which is why we've created a space that is as functional as it is beautiful. Our fully renovated historic Sears structure, previously occupied by Elgin Community College, has been linked to a new addition, providing a seamless and inspiring environment that is sure to stimulate each of your senses.
