Big news! We’re moving, NOT CLOSING!
Dear Friends,
Thank you so much to everyone who came out last weekend to support and to all who have been sharing our story and sending love. It’s been a roller coaster but we have felt so cared for and loved thanks to all of you ❤️
So, we’re thrilled to share some major news: IS Projects is making arrangements to move to Bakehouse Art Complex! 🎉
Thanks to the incredible support of our community and the generosity and vision of Bakehouse’s leadership we’ve found a new home that will allow us to grow, collaborate, and keep the printmaking spirit alive in Miami.
We’ve been working closely with Bakehouse directors to create a beneficial partnership that honors our mission of making your dreams on paper come true. This is going to be a fabulous transformation for the studio. Together, we’re building a dynamic center for printmaking, book arts, and community-driven publishing right in the heart of Miami’s arts ecosystem.
While we’re still working out the logistics, we can confirm:
✅ We are not closing.
✅ We will have time to pack and transition thoughtfully.
✅ We will still need your help to get there.
What’s the timeline?
It’s looking like we’ll have another month in our current space thanks to the generosity of our current landlord and we are hoping to be open in some capacity at Bakehouse in October.
This weekend:
Stop by the shop on Saturday or Sunday between 1-5pm to pick up supplies or silent auction purchases.
P.S.
If you have items at the studio or questions about the transition please see the FAQ at the end of this email.

FAQ
I have prints, screens, ink, etc. at the studio! When can I pick them up?
We’re still here in the studio Tuesday-Friday 12am-7pm and the sale dates listed above. Please come pick up your belongings by July 18th. After that, it will be much harder to find your belongings and we cannot be responsible for their safety.
What will happen to the equipment?
The big stuff has been posted to our silent auction. We’ll be posting availability of smaller items on Instagram as we start to pack. If there is anything you are interested in specifically let us know.
What about supplies?
We’ll be selling as many art supplies as we can before we have to move. Please come by the studio for mega deals on paper, ink, leather, cards and lots of other supplies.
Can I volunteer to help with the move?
Yes please! We’ll need all the help we can get! Submit your phone number here to be added to our whatsapp volunteer group where we’ll be posting needs, hours, and other ways to help.
I’m a member, what does this mean for me?
You should have received a separate email with more details. Let us know if you didn’t get it.
I have an in-progress project! What’s going to happen?
We’re trying to tie up all the loose ends before we pack everything up. If you have a project in progress please reach out to us asap at info@isprojectsfl.com with subject line: Project in progress.
