February is starting off strong with Baker Artists! After last week’s heavy winter storm led to many cancellations and rescheduled events, this week’s calendar is extra full—in the best way.
With dozens of events featuring Baker Artists taking place between Thursday and Saturday, our weekly email simply couldn’t hold it all. So we’ve rounded everything up here in one place to make it easier to plan your week/end and show up for Baker Artists in person.
In 2018, Amy Sherald became a Baker Artist Awardee and was honored with the prestigious Mary Sawyers Imboden Prize. At $40,000 this is the largest art prize in the region. Sherald’s work was recognized for its mastery of craft, depth of artistic exploration, and unique and compelling vision.
