Full and partial scholarships will be considered for artists who demonstrate financial need.

Associate Artist Program
Our Associate Artist Program is currently at capacity and we are not accepting applications at this moment in time.
The Bakehouse Art Complex’s Associate Artist Program is a membership program for professional artists who are seeking access to our art-making facilities and internal artist programming. Ideal candidates are talented emerging and mid-career artists who are committed to their work, add value to our dynamic, collaborative community of over one hundred working professionals and do not need a dedicated studio space.
