The Baker Artist Portfolios (
www.bakerartist.org) were created to support artists and promote Greater Baltimore as a strong creative community. The online portfolios are open to artists working in all disciplines who live and work in Baltimore City and its five surrounding counties.
Artists who create a Baker Artist Portfolio are automatically eligible for one of six Baker Artist Awards, which include significant monetary prizes, an exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art as well as a feature on Maryland Public Televisions Artworks. These prizes will be awarded to an artists who exemplify a mastery of craft, commitment to excellence, and a unique and compelling vision.
The portfolios and associated awards were established by the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund (
www.bakerfund.org) and are a program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance (
www.baltimoreculture.org).
