Fox Valley Beaux Arts is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization that fosters the arts in the Fox Valley area. Founded in 1984 and offering support to students, families and arts groups for more than 30 years, the club also presents monthly programs targeted toward education of youth and members in one or more aspect of the fine arts: music, drama, dance, theater and the visual arts.

The club holds a major fundraiser in the fall of the year to benefit the scholarship fund. This fund is distributed each spring to high school seniors in the Elgin Area School District U-46 enrollment area who seek to further their education in the arts.

Each year, the club awards five to 10 scholarships to deserving and gifted students who will be pursuing a course of study in this area.
