I’ll admit I have mixed feelings about these awards. But I always throw myself into the mix anyway. As an artist that works with technology, financially it’s a constant struggle to keep hardware and software needed for my studio practice and live performances up to date. Technology now allows artists to quickly distribute work and information in the blink of an eye, but unfortunately the methods of creation and distribution change just as rapidly. Baltimore is fortunate to have our annual Baker Artist Awards which grant three working artists a $25,000 prize for their creative practice. If you have a moment to vote, I would truly appreciate your consideration. Below are links to my artist nomination and to the Baker homepage.
