Firecat Projects

Our new location as of August 2020 is 2019 N. Damen Ave. 

 

Firecat projects opened in 2010 and operates a unique model for a gallery. It has monthly exhibitions of both local and national artists without taking a commission from their sales. We have had exhibitions from artists ages 12 to 95 across all mediums. Our hope is to put a spotlight on the unusual committed artist who is tired of being the only quirky one in a group show.

Openings are usually held on the last friday of the month. Please check ahead of time. They are free to public, and all are welcome.
