About this Event

Join us for Signs of the Hearth, a hands-on enamel art-making series where community members will help design and create a large-scale, illuminated enamel sign for City Food Studio. Guided by artists from Chicago Avenue Fire Arts Center (CAFAC), participants will paint enamel letters, forge artistic utensils, and collaborate on a backdrop inspired by the neighborhood's beauty and resilience. Each session is a chance to reflect, create, and contribute to a lasting piece of public art.

All skill levels welcome—no prior art experience necessary! Come ready to paint, listen to music, share stories, and be part of something meaningful.

Workshop D: Backdrop & Lighting Build Day

We’re bringing it all together! This session focuses on painting the large cityscape backdrop, assembling the mount structure, and testing soft-glow lighting for our 3’x10’ enamel sign.🔧 Come help us shape the final vision with brushes, lights, and teamwork. This is your chance to tinker, paint, and prep for the grand reveal!

🗓 Date: Wednesday, August 23, 2025
