A message from the Director:
We are thrilled to offer an exceptional creative and professional development opportunity to a member of our Bakehouse artist community. As you have learned, we recently formalized a partnership with the prestigious Cité internationale des arts in Paris, France. Through a juried process, one Bakehouse artist will be selected this year as the Artist Laureate and beneficiary of a two-month residency (May 4–June 27, 2023). Resident artists, associate artists, and Summer Open residents are eligible to apply.
Good luck!
Cathy Leff + Laura Novoa
