Signs of the Hearth: Final Paint Day

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 E: Final Paint Day 🎨The finishing touch! ✨ On September 13, we’ll gather at City Food Studio for the last Signs of the Hearth painting session. Together, we’ll complete the enamel letters for the large-scale illuminated sign that will glow outside the building.

This isn’t the installation yet — it’s the final chance to add your brushstrokes, your energy, and your story to the sign itself. Come ready to paint, enjoy music, and share in community as we bring the project to completion.
