Miami, FL – November 4, 2022 – On Friday, November 4, 2022, more than 300 community and civic leaders joined the Bakehouse Art Complex Board of Directors, staff, and artists in honoring City of Miami Chairwoman Christine King and The Jorge M. Pérez Family Foundation for their transformational support of the 37-year artist-serving organization. The event, Futures | Visions | Visionaries, was underwritten by Related Urban Development Group, Bank of America, and Akerman LLP,  and was hosted by two-time Emmy-nominated NBC 6 news anchor Constance Jones and Bakehouse President Jason Korman. Co-chaired by artist Maru Jensen and Elle Bourgeois Koffler of Design Miami/, Bakehouse raised more than $175,000 to provide Miami-based artists with workspace security, infrastructure, professional and creative development opportunities, and the community with free access to year-round cultural programming. Guests enjoyed open access to artist studios and solo exhibitions by Bakehouse residents Chris Dougnac and Gabriela Gamboa, as well as installations by Autumn Casey and Cynthia Cruz. Dinner for the night was prepared by Chef Dewey LoSasso and  Bill Hansen Catering, and entertainment consisted of a street procession by the Miami Northwestern Senior High Mighty Bulls Marching Band, a jazz performance by Young Artists Unite Jazz Collective, and after-dinner music by artist Domingo Castillo.
