"If you missed the Art is Bonfire event at the Pointe Sunday, you missed some great poetry and an inspiring evening around a pit fire. The freestyling to the beat of the congo and the acoustic guitar was amazing as poets, et.al. entered and exited to an invisible MC. The poem "Black Smoke" which was punctuated by the poet tossing a full page Tribune color photo edition of Obama's Grant Park coronation into the bonfire was the most arresting. Watching the flames lick away at Obama's visage was not easy or comfortable which was undoubtably the point. "Best performance by a spoken word artist" went to our own Tiffanie who held the group auditorally and visually captive three different times. Her tribute to the bonfire event sets her apart as the emerging spoken word artist to watch in Chicago. No doubt!"

Art is Bonfire- Oct 2nd @ Promontory Point
Art is Bonfire is BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!
The August event was such a success that we have decided to do a "fall edition." This time the performers will be even HOTTER and the fire will be even BIGGER. This time around we will be encouraging people to bundle up, bring blankets, and don't forget hot apple cider!
Art is Bonfire is an alternative to the urban art and poetry scene that often takes place in private spaces within the boundaries imposed by industry gatekeepers, art administrators, business owners and even community partners.
Around a fire pit in a beautiful park on the South Side of Chicago, with the skyline as a backdrop, singers, poets, dancers, musicians and their friends come together to create, perform, and share energy without boundaries.
