Baltimore on Display at Baker Artists Awards Exhibition

One of the principal goals of the Baker Artist Awards was to promote Baltimore as a city that values its art and appreciates its artists.  The awards process (with more than 8,000 voters reviewing the work of 600 artists) and the current exhibition of the winners’ work at the Baltimore Museum of Art were deemed a local success.  But how would someone from outside Baltimore feel about the work and how it represents Baltimore’s cultural identity?

Today’s review of the Baker Artist Awards Exhibition by Michael O’Sullivan of the Washington Post paints Baltimore as a city that not only loves its art, but gets it.
