We are thrilled to announce the finalists for the 2023 Baker Artist Awards!
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.
Since 2009, the Baker Artist Awards has distributed $90,000 in annual prize money, for a total of more than $1.3million to over 150 artists. The 2023 Baker Artist Awardees will be announced in June, with one artist from each of the six artistic disciplines receiving a $10,000 Mary Sawyers Baker Prize. One of the six selected artists will also receive the additional $30,000 Mary Sawyers Imboden Prize, for a total prize of $40,000.
