Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center would like your help in raising funding for our scholarship! The scholarship fund provides tuition assistance for CAFAC classes, through a straightforward, accessible application process--no proof of income required. Last year we gave out over $12,000 for the entire year, and as of August this year we have already given out over $10,000. The primary source of funds for our scholarships is sales in our gallery. It’s a regenerative artists-supporting-artists approach that has been very successful! For more information about our scholarship fund head to www.cafac.org/scholarships.

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.
You are AMAZING and we couldn't do any of this without you!!! Thank you for your continued support.
