Lists are long this time of year! Many of us are thinking about the gifts we will give and the kindnesses we want to convey. It is also a time to think about year-end contributions to the organizations and causes dear to your heart.

If arts and culture are on your list, we hope you will include GBCA among those worthy organizations. By contributing to GBCA at https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/gbca, you are supporting the thousands who benefit from our services every year. And your gift will be doubled through a special challenge grant from the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund, making this the perfect time to check that gift off your list.

This is also a great time to become a member, or renew your membership. Join GBCA (https://www.baltimoreculture.org/user/register) and its partners in 2025 to speak out for the sector, provide important training, elevate the work of artists, market and share the many creative events happening in the region, and help support the cultural job market.

Now is the time to engage and join together with your fellow creatives and patrons to demonstrate the power of the arts and its rich manifestation right here in your backyard.

Happy holidays,
Jeannie

P.S. Calling all artists! The deadline to update your Baker Artist Portfolio is approaching!
