“Homegrown” at Bakehouse Art Complex Asks: How Does a Building Become a Home?

This November, the Bakehouse Art Complex transforms its gallery into something rare: a home.

“Homegrown,” opening Friday, November 6, 2026, and on view through April 16, 2027, is a group exhibition featuring new and existing works by resident, associate, and alumni artists exploring the ideas of home, comfort, and belonging.

In the Audrey Love Gallery, the traditional white-cube exhibition space becomes a warm, lived-in domestic environment. Curated by Krys Ortega and René Morales, the project imagines cultural spaces like Bakehouse as welcoming sites of connection — inviting visitors to reflect on how the artists shape community, cultural production, and our broader sense of place.

The exhibition asks one central question: How does a building become a home? Around 32 Bakehouse artists work across disparate mediums, including several pieces commissioned specifically for this project. Highlights include wallpaper by Judith Berk King, furniture by Philip Lique and Maria Alejandra Icaza Paredes, an installation by Agua Dulce, a listening room adorned with works by Najja Moon and Addison Wolff, and a performance work by Marilyn Loddi.

“Homegrown is an experiment in exhibition-making, envisioning a more welcoming, hospitable, and humanistic way of experiencing art,” says co-curator and Bakehouse Senior Curatorial Fellow René Morales.

As Bakehouse embarks on a major campus expansion, “Homegrown” arrives at exactly the right moment — proof that Miami’s creative community already knows how to make a building feel like home.

Bakehouse Art Complex is located at 561 Northwest 32nd Street, Miami.
