Baker Artist Awards

The William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund established the Baker Artist Awards in 2008-2009 to recognize Baltimore's artists and engage regional, national and international audiences in supporting these artists' work. The Baker Artist Awards encourage all Baltimore area artists working in any creative discipline to register, exhibit their work, comment on others' work, select favorite works, promote the site to friends, enjoy the broad public attention given to the site and compete for the Mary Sawyers Baker Prizes and b-grant awards. The latest web technology is available to artists and the viewing public to better appreciate video, audio, image and text nominations. All site visitors are invited to login as participants, comment on artists' work and create a "favorites" exhibition.
