Bakehouse Art Complex The Bakehouse Art Complex is a crucial resource for artists in Miami's urban core. It provides affordable spaces for artists to create, live, and connect with each other and the community. However, the organization has faced challenges in fundraising due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Foundations that previously supported the Bakehouse have shifted their funding priorities, and individual donors have also changed their funding priorities. This has made it difficult for the organization to secure funds for building repairs and ongoing operating support. Fortunately, the Bakehouse Art Complex has received support from the American Rescue Plan grant. This grant will be used to repair and renovate the existing facilities, ensuring that the organization can continue to provide long-term workspace to over 100 artists each year. These repairs are critical for the organization's ability to serve local artists and the broader community. Without them, the Bakehouse would not be able to continue its important work. The Bakehouse Art Complex plays a vital role in Miami's cultural ecosystem, addressing the need for affordable art spaces. The organization's ongoing success is not only important for its own sustainability but also for the artists it supports and the community. With the help of the American Rescue Plan grant, the Bakehouse can continue to thrive and provide a creative hub for artists in Miami. 561 NW 32nd St District 5 R-22-0171 40-A2-23-0001 2,000,000.00
