Drawing from more than thirty years of experience leading cultural institutions in the city of Miami, Leff will share the story of her current work with the Bakehouse Art complex. As a leading incubator for artistic creativity, the Bakehouse enables more than 100 artists to not only create their work but also to share it with the broader community. Leff’s vision for an expanded, future arts complex may serve as a model for how cities can build strong and sustainable ecosystems for artists and the arts to thrive.
