The Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center is looking for vendors for our 8th annual RedHot Art Market! This event is our biggest fundraiser of the year and an important way that CAFAC builds our scholarship fund for those that need it most. Our scholarship program has never been more popular; as of August 2023 we have awarded close to $10,000 in scholarships this year!
This year, the event will take place on Saturday, December 16th from 11am - 5pm. We have room for 30-40 vendors, and any type of work is accepted.
The application deadline is October 20th, and priority is given to makers from underrepresented communities.
Some key details:
No booth fee
All transactions are carried out by CAFAC
70% of each sale goes to the artist; 30% is added to our scholarship fund.
Artists are asked to stay the entire day, but are welcome to have a friend familiar with their work sit in for them.
It's a fun day filled with lots of good energy and creative joy, designed to allow artists & makers to help each other learn and flourish as a community. Hopefully, you'll make new connections and have fun doing it! Click here to apply.

About Us:
CAFAC is a non-profit arts organization that fills a unique niche in arts programming for the Twin Cities region. Its focus is on fine and industrial art forms that are produced using heat, spark, or flame—collectively known as "fire arts"—including sculptural welding, blacksmithing, metal casting, jewelry making, lampwork, neon, and more. CAFAC provides classes to anyone with an interest, from youth to adult and beginner to master-level artisans. We also offer studio access programs to working and emerging artists and feature a storefront gallery space, where consignors can sell their crafts with a 70% artist/30% scholarship split. The gallery is a space for emerging artists to find support and growth and for established artists to launch solo exhibitions in an encouraging, community driven space.
Thank You!!
