Fire Arts Center

Description

We at the Fire Arts Center of Chicago are not immune to the challenges of a difficult economy. Our mission has always been to preserve the traditional methods and techniques of sculptors as well as the technical skills relevant to those just looking to develop a new trade. In order for us to meet that mission we need to provide our classes to as many people as we can. However, when times are tough, finding the money to pay for classes like this is hard. For that reason we have been offering a 1/2-down payment plan to make it easier to pay for classes.

The Evanston Art Center has been offering classes, contemporary art exhibitions, and education programs for children and seniors for over 75 years. All of this adds up to promote their mission of making contemporary art accessible to the general public.

V incent Hawkins recieved his M.F.A. from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and his B.F.A. from Temple University in Phiadelphia. He studied figure sculpture and painting with sculptor Paolo Corisone at the Tyler School of Art in Rome, Italy. Mr. Hawkins has been working exclusively with the figure for over 20 years. He currently teaches in the Department of Medical Ethics and Humanities at Northwestern University, as well as the Fire Arts Center of Chicago and the Evanston Art Center.

All registration for our classes is rolling which means you can join whenever you want and get the same step-by-step personal instruction that we provide to every student.

The Fire Arts Center of Chicago began 17 years ago as a not-for-profit school for sculptors. Our primary mission is the preservation of traditional sculpture technique by offering high-quality training to artists, students and others seeking to learn or perfect their skills.
