Bakehouse artists Maritza Caneca, Gabriela Gamboa, Jose Luis Garcia, and Najja Moon have publications featured in BookBound: The Art of Books & Printmaking at the Art and Culture Center / Hollywood. The exhibition examines the book as a sculptural art object and the many forms of art expression found in printed matter. 

Bakehouse artist Amalia Caputo is curating and presenting in HEADSPACE, a group exhibition presented at La Platforma in Barcelona. The exhibition features four artists whose work grapples with the question of how women see, feel, and think about the world at this moment of intersecting global crises. 

Bakehouse artist Beatriz Chachamovits was recently commissioned by Frost Science to create Reversing the Tides of Change, a digital drawing for the museum's Wet Lab to accurately portray the declining health of Florida's reef ecosystem, highlighting important species and the restoration work done by its scientists and volunteers. 

Bakehouse artist Geovanna Gonzalez recently was awarded the South Arts State Fellowship, a state-specific prize awarded to the artists whose work reflects the best of the visual arts in the South. Each State Fellow received a cash award of $5,000 and their work is included in an exhibition at the Bo Bartlett Center in Columbus, Georgia opening in September 2022. 

Bakehouse artist Carmen Smith is currently presenting work in RUSHING down, a two-person exhibition with Hermes Berrio at the Coral Springs Museum of Art.
