Elgin's 10th Art and Soul on the Fox wraps Sunday

Elgin's 10th Art and Soul on the Fox, which wraps its two-day run Sunday, caters to people of all artistic tastes.

Karen Castillo, president of the nonprofit Art for All, which co-sponsors the event with the city, said more than 70 juried artists from 35 communities in Illinois and Wisconsin are showcasing a variety of media.

The festival includes food trucks, live entertainment and a Kids Zone in the center of the Riverside Drive Promenade.

"When I was an exhibiting artist, I loved talking to kids," recalled Castillo, noting the event could serve as its own gallery of sorts for children who have not yet been to a gallery or museum.
