Bakehouse Art Complex

The Bakehouse Art Complex was already a neighborhood staple before Wynwood came into its own as an artist's area, and gallerists took note of the blossoming. The 33,000-square-foot facility secretly opened its doors in February 1987, becoming the area's first nonprofit of its sort. The organization's 30-year dominance may be attributed in part to its function as a creative incubator; it gives cheap studio and exhibition space to young and mid-career artists, as well as arts education to the community. There are 65 studios, two galleries, a photo lab, a printing facility, a ceramic facility, and a woodshop on the premises.

The Bakehouse is comprised of approximately 100 resident and associate artists, deriving from a rich diversity of backgrounds. Their work represents a broad range of media and practices, from painting to performance, from traditional to experimental.

Bakehouse is one of the oldest artist-serving organizations in Miami, with studios of varying sizes, two galleries, a classroom, a print room, a photography lab, ceramics facilities, woodworking, and welding areas. These spaces, unavailable outside of university campuses, have and continue to enable artists to work, make, discover, learn, and share their practices and work with each other and the broader community.

Bakehouse now is positioned for its next stage of development, seeking to play a more critical role in the collective efforts to build a strong and sustainable ecosystem in Miami in which artists and the arts can thrive. A master plan is currently underway to determine the highest and best use of its impressive 2.3-acre campus to better serve the needs of Miami’s cultural community.
