Bakehouse artist Jason Aponte is presenting work in Composites & Constellations, a group exhibition at the Frank Gallery in Pembroke Pines. The mixed media artworks in the exhibition feature images that lie at the border of the abstract and figurative, featuring blurred identities, reflections, and superimposed images. 

Bakehouse artist Thomas Bils is currently featured in Men Who Paint Flowers, a group exhibition at Mindy Solomon Gallery. The show focuses on the relationship of men and non-binary artists to flowers- their use as a decorative device or metaphor for vulnerability and suburban decay. 

Bakehouse artist Joel Gaitian recently opened Ríos de Agua Viva, a solo presentation at Fairfax Dorn Projects in East Hampton, New York. Gaitan's work studies the matters of self-identity, sexuality, and ancestral lineage by celebrating life, death, and the afterlife.

Bakehouse artist Moira Holohan has been named one of the recipients of the 2022 South Florida Cultural Consortium Awards, one of the largest honors accorded by local arts agencies to visual arts and media artists in the United States. She is one of six artists representing Miami-Dade County out of a total 12 awardees from South Florida counties. 

Bakehouse artist Jennifer Printz is currently featured in Traces, an group exhibition at Arts Warehouse in Delray Beach. The show explores the idea of the artist’s hand, and evidence of the artist present in their work.
