April 27, 2025 — July 27, 2025

Overview

The 2025 Baker Artist Awards exhibition at the BMA showcases the work of five artists: 2019 awardee Selin Balci, 2023 awardees Oletha DeVane and Jordan Tierney, and 2024 awardees Stephen Towns and Kelley Bell.

These artists—who span media, style, and generations—are each grounded in histories and stories related to spirituality, place, and identity deeply connected to the Baltimore region, its ecology, and people. The themes and narratives presented in this group exhibition also resonate with the BMA’s Turn Again to the Earth initiative.

Curated by Katie Cooke, BMA Manager of Curatorial Affairs, and Antoinette Roberts, BMA Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art.

The Baker Artist Portfolios and associated awards were established by the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund and are a program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance.
