Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center

Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center's mission is to inspire hands, hearts, and minds through art forms produced by heat, spark, or flame. CAFAC fills a unique niche in Minneapolis-St. Paul arts ecosystem, with a focus on art forms that include blacksmithing, enameling, glass, jewelry making, metal casting, neon, welding and metal fabrication, and more! 

BE THE FUEL FOR OUR FIRES!

This year, your contributions will support our popular scholarship program! CAFAC scholarships aim to increase equity and reduce financial barriers to participation in fire arts.

With your help, CAFAC will:

• Continue to offer a trust-based application process, without requiring proof of income,
• Expand scholarship funds offered to BIPOC community members,
• Grow our pool of funds for the general public so anyone with need can more easily access fire arts programming at CAFAC.
