The Bakehouse Art Complex was set in motion in the mid-1980s by a few artists who, with support from the City of Miami and Miami-Dade County’s Community Development Block Grant programs, acquired a 33,000 square-foot former Art Deco-era industrial bakery (built 1926) situated on a 2.3-acre parcel (96K sq. ft footprint) in the then-blighted neighborhood of Wynwood. Their aim was to protect artists from future real estate booms and gentrification by acquiring their own site and providing in perpetuity affordable spaces for artists.
