Elmhurst is a sophisticated art
conscious community that has developed a rich cultural
heritage throughout its 165-year history. Residents who
are highly educated and affluent patrons have many
opportunities to explore the arts. Elmhurst Art Museum,
EAM, names Best Suburban Art Museum by Chicago Magazine,
provides the people of Elmhurst and surrounding
communities with a center for the visual arts where art
can be viewed, studied, created and appreciated. The
Museum resides in an architecturally significant facility,
the McCormick House, designed by Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
(considered “The father of modern architecture”). The
building is the only one of three such homes in the United
States that is open to the public. Each Spring, the
Elmhurst Art Museum sponsors Art in the Park, a weekend
festival featuring over 100 artists in Wilder Park. Wilder
Park is the home of the Elmhurst’s award winning Art
Museum.
Elmhurst College, a liberal arts, private institution,
serving over 2,700 full-and part-time students has a rich
creative life, offering a variety of majors in art. The
college’s library collection of art is world renowned.
Lizzadro Museum of Lapidary Art, celebrating its 40th
anniversary, is the only one of its kind in the U.S.
dedicated entirely to lapidary arts.
Elmhurst Park District manages 29 neighborhood parks
including Wilder Park with its formal gardens and
conservatory that was named by Chicago Magazine as the
“best park” in suburban Chicago.
