Arts Council of East Dundee 

The Village of East Dundee Arts Council is passionate about fostering a vibrant and inspiring arts and culture scene within our community. 


Our Mission: 

Enrich the quality of life through art, beauty, and creativity. 

Our Vision: 

We envision East Dundee as a place where people are inspired and creativity thrives; where arts and culture unite, enrich, and celebrate our community.  

Projects: 

We're proud to be actively shaping the artistic landscape of East Dundee through various engaging projects.  

  • The painted mural along the bike trail (at 11 Jackson St) captures the spirit of the wildlife that call the Fox River their home.  
  • Chalk art sessions at the Depot have brought color, vibrancy, and interactive art to the heart of our village. 
  • Black + White Art Show:  This event was held on Feb 10, 2023 at Black & Gray Brewing. Artists submitted monochrome artwork that was displayed during the art show, and included awards from jurors as well as a public vote on best submissions.
