6:30pm - 9:00pm

It’s that time of year again! Our biannual Open(Hot) House is coming up on September 20th, featuring fire arts demos, hands-on artmaking, and recent student work on display. And we’re excited to host Fire Jam with Lil C for a fire performance at 8pm!

This event also serves as the opening for our new gallery exhibit celebrating women in blacksmithing, “Forging Women.” This show is created by Carla Hall and co-curated by Jhyle Rinker.

“The pandemic years were quiet and reflective, yet isolating. My hope was to bring together a group of women and their forged work post pandemic. This show represents the people I encountered along the way, who continue to inspire me with their forged ironwork and open spirit of community.” -Carla Hall

There's something for everyone at the Open (Hot)House. Come see what we've been up to at CAFAC, enjoy snacks and refreshments, and learn how you can get involved through classes, consignment, commissions, and more!
