“Walking into what local artist Steve Smith calls the “Flavor City Studios” at 45 Harrison Street, you realize this place is the real deal. The place smells like art. Artwork covers the walls. Canvasses are stacked at least 20 deep waiting for the art lover’s eyes. Steve is very involved in several Oak Park art organizations. He’s an active member of Oak Park Arts District and the Oak Park Art League. Previously, he attended the American Academy of Art and The Village Art School in Skokie.”
