Miami is full of prints right now, at the University of Miami in a print portfolio in Art and Sciences, at Bakehouse in the print room (IS Projects recent portfolio), in Bookleggers Library, and out back in Studio 2, where Tom Virgin is printing books for Miami Book Fair, and other projects. Come and smell the ink. The 40th Anniversary Party is this Friday November 7th. Tickets are $100 at the door on Friday, but only $40 in advance. Over sixty artists are in residency and something for everyone.
My relationship with Bakehouse Art Complex goes back to 1992 when I moved to Miami to attend University of Miami to study in the MFA Print Making program. One of my MFA colleagues, Alan Smith had a painting studio at Bakehouse then. Their ongoing programming that included programming with public schools and exhibition opportunities for students kept me coming around. Being here is truly an experience all day every day.
The exhibition opening in the Audrey Love Gallery, ” PRESENT: Past, Present & Future, Bakehouse at Forty, curated by Krys Ortega, will be showing one of my prints from the Anderson Center at Tower View, where I spent seven July’s as an Artist in Residence.

The delightful storytelling technicolor wonder of Pedro Wazzan is now filling the entire front hallway at the Bakehouse Art Complex. Being a part of this group is not unlike being transported to another universe. The work will be open with the Bakehouse at 40 Exhibition. As Cathy says, “tonight is everyone’s birthday.


Bookleggers Library is a close neighbor to me at Bakehouse. I have printed for them on a few occasions already. Coming up on October 11 the entire back yard outside of the main building will be celebrating kids, artists and books in combination. I have attended these events and am happy to be included into the event this year. If you have kids and you love books, this is the event for you. Free Books! Free prints!
