Congratulations.
The jury & the voters have spoken.

The William G. Baker Jr. Memorial Fund commits its resources to enhance the region's economy and quality of life by making investments in arts and culture. The Fund makes these investments in cultural resources so that all residents may participate and benefit. Its grants support artistic and cultural organizations and their partners through initiatives that enhance an individual's sense of self and pleasure and make Baltimore a more attractive place to live, work and play.

The Fund Trustees conceived Baker Artists Awards to honor individual artists who live and work in Baltimore City and the five surrounding counties. The awards, the Mary Sawyers Baker Prize and Baltimore's Choice, will be made annually in March of each year. By providing unconditional financial support for emerging and well established artists, the Baker Awards will signify to the regional, national and international community that Baltimore is a place that values its artists and rewards their work.
