As many of you know, our three-year lease at 825 Warner St SW ends on June 30th. In light of recent events, we have had to pivot many times over the past three months and any prospect of a future iteration is highly uncertain. However, we are hosting a final Open House instead of any type of event in order to give away remaining possessions and allow folks one last chance to visit if they want.

Depending on interest, we might add additional safety measures and increase precautions but, in the meantime, the following is required:

- masks (bring them, wear them, keep them on)

- constant social distancing

- arrive in small groups and sign-in

If you plan to leave with any objects, we encourage a truck, dolly, and gloves, maybe a moving buddy too. Donations welcome via Venmo @thebakeryatlanta and Cash App $thebakeryatlanta. Stay tuned for more details.

Stay safe and we'll see you Sunday ☀️

Creative Writing: How To Make A (Fictional) Friend

May 29, 2020 from 6-7PM || Tickets - $5

Join The Bakery as Artist Skillshare Workshops go online! This week we will be discussing the art of character building with Syd Stanley. Through the use of image and writing exercises, this class will demonstrate how to create characters individually, and cohesively as a group.

Syd is a student at Georgia State University, currently studying Film and Creative Writing. Their writing spans from poetry and songwriting, to short fiction and screenplays. Their work has been published in The Tower, Oglethorpe University's literary magazine. They are currently working on their first comic book, which can be found @txcomic on Instagram.

Questions? Send an email to hello@thebakeryatlanta.com for more information.

Interview with locally-owner, small business owner, Jaime Rosegren of Fiber Parts on experiences trying to access business capital. We'll highlight her year+ journey in applying from everything from traditional bank loans, SBA loans, as well as lesser-known funds with an equitable access mission. We'll discuss her recent experience with emergency funding, including the SBA EIDL loan, and new locally-accessible loan products through CDFIs like LISC and crowd-funded micro-finance nonprofits like KIVA.org.

Check out Fiber Parts public, call-for-investors kiva profile here: https://www.kiva.org/lend/1965562

Another Helping consulting will follow-up with recommendations on accessing these capital resources for your small business:

- How to tell your business story

- How to prepare your business finances

- Considerations regarding legal structure and accounts

- Considerations regarding pandemic-related uncertainties and changes to your industry: insurance, staffing, and profit expectations

- Financing and cash-flow strategy, especially in consideration of "all this going on", business, and personal circumstances. 

The Bakery Atlanta presents an online DIY skillshare series for artists who would like to learn a new skill set for exciting new projects. Join us each week to learn a new creative skill from artists affiliated with The Bakery.

For our first online edition of the DIY skillshare series, our resident creative technologist, Streetcat.media, will introduce all sorts of creative technology platforms + tools that artists can utilize to bring interactivity, LEDs, electronic music, + more into their creative practice. Artists will learn the basics of sensors + microcontrollers, a tiny bit of software programming, and have the opportunity to ask questions about how interactivity could work in their own creative projects at the end of the workshop.

Feel free to ask questions about your ideas or projects at the workshop ✨

Cost: $5

Location: The Internet! (a online conference call link will be shared with you in an intro email)

Date: Friday, 5/8

Time: 6 to 7pm

Materials: notepad + writing utensil - for notes!

Questions? Send an email to hello@streetcat.media for more information.

All are welcome to attend the premiere of Eddie Farr’s Landscape 3 as part of his Negative Pressure installation series. The series presents interactive environments based on computer generated landscapes. Guests are invited to explore the fabricated space where their interactions with embedded sensors in the floor will cause surreal motion in soft elements overhead. Landscape 3 is composed of a network of sensors, a large fabric element, and a grid of motors suspended from the ceiling.

The series is a result of Farr’s experiments with early computer generated landscapes and his desire to give guests control over the experience of his work and the process of creative discovery. The calming yet uncanny installation aims to renew a sense of wonder and curiosity in the built environment and inspire imaginative alternate realities.

Opening Reception: Thursday, April 16 7:00-9:00pm

Artist Talk & Closing Reception: Sunday, May 10 2:00-4:00pm

Gallery Hours: Monday – Friday 12:00–4:00pm
