Ellwood Explorers
Ellwood Explorers is the Ellwood House Museum’s youth event series. Once a month, join us for a free program exploring the sights and sounds of Ellwood Park.
Frame of Mind
“Frame of Mind” is a collaboration between the Ellwood House Museum, K-12 classrooms from across DeKalb County, and local businesses.
The first part of the program will be a juried exhibition of student artwork from the 2023/2024 school year, hosted in the museum’s 1898 Ellwood-Nehring House (Ellcourt).
View the free on-site exhibit by appointment April 16 - May 19, or visit during special exhibit hours:
Thursday, April 18: 5pm-7pm
Saturday, April 27: 10am-12pm
After the exhibit, county businesses will have the opportunity to “rent” the pieces for a one-year period to be displayed in their lobbies, offices, or stores. Artwork will be returned to students at the end of the loan period. This is a wonderful opportunity to encourage young artists, display community pride, and support the arts in DeKalb County!

Frame of Mind is made possible with support from the Cy Miller Foundation, Franklin’s Frames & Art, and the Kishwaukee Valley Art League.
