Tent Space for Baker Artists to Display & Sell Art at WTMD's First Thursday Festival!
As Maryland's largest free concert series, WTMD's First Thursday Festivals bring about 10,000 people each month to Canton Waterfront Park for live music, local food and artisans. It runs once per month, June through September. Last year they added a Baker Artist Portfolios village featuring 10 artists from www.bakerartist.org. This year, they're expanding that to include around 18 Baker Portfolio artists per event

These 36 artists were selected from over 600 artists who created a Baker Artist Portfolio in 2023.
The 2023 finalists were selected by an anonymous jury. Selected artists exemplify excellence in three areas: mastery of craft, depth of artistic exploration, and a unique vision. All artists who have received a cumulative total of less than $20,000 in previous prizes remain eligible for a Baker Artist Award.
Thank you to the over 600 artists who created a Baker Portist Portfolio in advance of the 2023 deadline.
