This summer, Bakehouse artist Juan Matos spent two months in residence at the Cité Internationale des Arts in Paris, immersing himself in a vibrant international creative community.

From late-night conversations with artists from across the globe to long studio days developing a new film project, Juan shares how the residency shifted his perspective and unlocked a new rhythm of making.

We’re excited to welcome two dynamic new members to Bakehouse’s Board of Directors: Ophira Cukierman, a seasoned leader in real estate investment and operations, and Alex Daly, a Miami-born marketing entrepreneur and founder of the award-winning agency Daly.
