The fire arts center of chicago has been constantly growing and changing over the last few years. Once again we have reached a point where we have outgrown our current space. At this moment, we are still in the same building at 1800 West Cuyler Street, but we have begun to look for a new, larger space. We have received some incredible offers from which to choose and there are some ideal locations which we are actively pursuing.
We are looking for a location that will provide us with more space now and that will include room for us to grow in the future. With growing interest in our classes we want to make sure we can accommodate the greatest number of students possible.
The fire arts center is also actively pursuing a permanent location to help us become a more stable fixture of the community. If you have a space that you might be interested in donating to a non-profit arts group (or if you know someone who might be interested), contact us and we will be happy to check it out and talk to you about arranging the donation. As most growing communities in Chicago can attest, promoting the arts in your community is a great way to help your neighborhood become the next hot spot in the city. In addition we have a number of plans for after-school arts classes for kids that we would love to provide to any community.
Our contact information will remain the same and we hope to have little to no interruption in the classes. We will be sure to post new information as it becomes available, but for now please continue to help support us and take advantage of the great opportunities we have for you.
We have loved being a part of our current neighborhood and would like to remain in this vibrant and growing arts community, but our need to provide the proper space for our students out-weighs the comfort of a familiar neighborhood. If you know of any space around our current location that you feel would work (for rent or for sale), please let us know. Again, we want to say “thank you” to everyone that helped make our stay enjoyable and exciting. Even if we do stay in the area, we thought it was a good time to say thanks to you all anyway.
