Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center is looking for vendors for our 6th RedHot Art Market. The RedHot Art Market is an important way that we, as a community, build our scholarship fund for those that need it and right now that is more important than ever.
When we started this market it was as a way for the CAFAC’s studio artists, volunteers and their families to spend time with each other during the busy holiday season. Then we decided it would be a great opportunity to invite a wider range of artists & makers and a great way to grow together as a community. A way for artists & makers to help artists & makers learn and grow. We do not charge a booth fee. At the RedHot Art Market, CAFAC does all of the transactions, leaving you able to connect with other artists/makers and art/maker lovers. 30% of sales goes towards our Scholarship Fund. It’s a wonderful way to meet other makers and make great community connections.
This year the RedHot Art Market will take place Saturday December 18th from 11am-5pm. We will be keeping an eye on the current state of the pandemic to make this as safe as we can possibly make it. We are hoping to have up to 30 vendors this year, but that may change due to COVID. Masks will be required. Hand sanitizer will be available.
Artists and makers of any kind are encouraged to apply with a priority for BIPOC vendors.

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, flamework, 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.
CAFAC’s gallery space operates on a regenerative model by putting proceeds into student scholarship support. Our commission split is 70% artist / 30% scholarship.
The gallery space is used as a way for the community to connect with each other through art. It 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. Join us in our efforts.
Thank You!!
