Hi neighbor! You are cordially invited to our upcoming events! On Saturday, October 3rd we start the day with 38th Street Market - a project we're proud to collaborate on alongside the 38th + Chi Business coalition. This market features local farmers who work with us an array of family friendly activities and vendors. After the market, we'll set community tables down Chicago Avenue at George Floyd Square and serve a free meal with locally grown food to several hundred neighbors out of ceramic bowls and hand-forged spoons that community members made themselves over the summer. There's something for everyone! Are you coming?

Within Reach explored the power of imagination, art-making, and collective action in shaping more just and joyful futures.

Nine PF Studios artists and alumni came together to imagine world-building as a fluid practice—one rooted in everyday choices, relationships, and acts of making. Like water, art can nourish, heal, and patiently reshape the landscapes we inhabit, its force emerging through steady movement, accumulation, and time.

Together, these works challenge dominant narratives and create space for new ways of seeing ourselves and one another. The future is not predetermined; it is something we create together.

Yesterday’s Food Sensory Art activation at the 38th & Chi Market was a powerful reminder of why we do this work. 💚✨

There is something truly magical about watching kids explore food through art—no rules, no pressure, just pure, unfiltered creativity, curiosity, and sensory discovery. Spending the day with such amazing, vibrant young minds showed us firsthand how deeply play can transform our relationship with food.

Creating healthy, joyful connections starts early, and watching these kids bring their imaginations to life was pure inspiration. Huge gratitude to our incredible community and every family who came out to create, play, and grow with us! 🎨🌱
