About this audio guide
This guide to the Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami traces how a group of artists evicted from their Coconut Grove studios in 1985 found a shuttered Art Deco bakery in Wynwood and struck an unlikely deal with the city to take it over for ten dollars. It follows the derelict building's transformation into working studios beneath its two grain silos, and the city staffer who signed off on the grant without knowing she'd return decades later to run the place herself. The doors opened in February 1987.
