CFAS is Joining NEW Gallery!
We are still CFAS, but running better! We have transitioned our business model to a non-profit and have been slowly moving our services at CFAS here to serve our community better.

Experience the impact of scale at our Small Works exhibition, opening December 6th. Featuring captivating pieces 18” x 18” and smaller, this show celebrates the beauty and detail found in intimate dimensions.
Our opening reception will be from 5 to 8 PM. We hope to see you there!

Introducing our next Call for Art: EROS, the Sensual Side of Love 💘
We invite artists to explore and express the many dimensions of sensuality, intimacy, and desire in our upcoming exhibition, Eros: The Sensual Side of Love. This call for art seeks works that delve into the deeper, more nuanced aspects of love — the physical, emotional, and passionate connections that shape our most intimate experiences.
The concept of Eros transcends mere physical attraction, embodying the beauty, complexity, and raw energy of romantic and sensual love. We encourage artists to interpret this theme through diverse mediums, including but not limited to painting, sculpture, photography, mixed media, digital art, and installations. Whether through the portrayal of intimate moments, the celebration of human connection, or an exploration of vulnerability and desire, we invite you to bring your unique vision to this powerful theme.
Submit before 12/31 for a 25% off submission fee discount through our website, chicagofineartsalon.com

We’re extending our deadline for our Call for Prints Open Call until December 2nd!
Are you an artist looking to broaden your reach and sell more artwork? Submit artwork you’d sell as prints to our #callforart specifically for Art Prints! 🖼️
CFAS understands the frustration artists and art enjoyers experience when wanting to support local artists, but not having the budget to purchase original artwork. Our goal with an art show dedicated to art prints is to make artwork more accessible to everyone, no matter their budget.
The deadline to apply is now December 2nd, with an opening reception featuring select submissions taking place December 13th at Art City (@artcitychicago)
Although there will be a dedicated show to submissions, some artists will also have the chance to sell prints through CFAS long-term after the show. We’re excited to see everyone’s submissions!
