Pedro Wazzan: In the Studio
Over the past few years, Venezuelan-born photographer Pedro Wazzan has captured formal, carefully staged portraits of Bakehouse artists in their studios. The resulting color-saturated images blur the lines between photography and painting.

Chire “VantaBlack” Regans: Say Their Names – A Public Art Memorial Project
Chire “VantaBlack” Regans presents Say Their Names: A Public Art Memorial Project, a large-scale mural on the western facade of our building along NW 6th Avenue. This public memorial recognizes over 250 lives that have been lost due to gun violence, police violence, hate crimes, gender violence, and domestic violence. The wall will serve as a site for collective mourning, as well as a public archive for the ongoing work that the artist is doing to honor victims of systemic racism and societal injustice.

Ode to Bakehouse
Bakehouse has commissioned a collaborative public art project by poet Arsimmer McCoy and visual artist Chris Friday that responds to the organization’s legacy of serving as a sanctuary of production—from its time as a bakery producing Merita bread to its past three plus decades as an important center of artistic and cultural production. Located on the north-facing wall of our campus along NW 33nd Street, the work will feature words written by the poet in honor of the institution’s anniversary interwoven with monumental visuals created by the artist.
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.
