Interested in creating a portfolio? Have questions about eligibility? Need help with your portfolio? Want to hear tips and pointers? Curious what past awardees have to say?

Join us for a Baker Info Session! 

Each Baker Info Session session will feature an hour-long presentation from GBCA Staff with detailed program overviews and instructions on using the site. Whenever possible a past awardee will also be present to  offer insight and tips on presenting yourself as an artist and creating a strong portfolio. New sessions will be added throughout the season!
The Baker Artist Portfolios website is an ever-evolving tool. Each year, we receive and solicit feedback and suggestions from artists and other site users as to how we can make the site better. 

This year, we have made several changes, both small and large.

Here are a few examples:

1) Added new "Browse" button to homepage and search bar to avoid confusion on how to discover new art:
