West Suburban Living named Water Street Studios “Best Art Gallery” in their 2019 Best of the West list to feature the best that the western suburbs has to offer in approximately 80 categories.
Water Street Studios was listed among many of their supporting partners including Gaetano’s Restaurant in Batavia (Best Italian Restaurant, Other Favorites), Solemn Oath Brewery (Best Microbrewery/Brewpub, Other Favorites), and K. Hollis Jewelers (Best Jewelry Store, 3rd Place).
Danielle Hollis, the executive director of Water Street Studios shares her opinion on what it takes to be the ‘best’ in the burbs, “Our organization believes in collaboration over competition in everything that we do. We utilize the resources we have, which tend to be arts-related, to rally a community around a cause. When you have people working together for a common goal that’s when the magic happens.”
Water Street Studios is a nonprofit art center in Batavia. The organization’s mission is to help make the arts more accessible to the Fox Valley region and beyond. The organization’s vision is to be a cultural hub in the Midwest. The nonprofit art center provides an ever-growing community with art classes, artist studios, community events, gallery exhibitions, free STEAM classes for third through fifth graders, outreach for under-resourced families, private events in a historic venue, and more.
Water Street Studios is open to the public Thursday through Sundays from noon to 5 p.m every week. Enjoy their second Friday events from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. every month featuring new gallery exhibitions, open artist studios, art activities for all ages, cash bar, appetizers, and good company.
