(See Schedule O) 0 0 186923 92150 20480 For 11 years, GBCA has managed a free online portfolio used by 800 to 1,000 to help area artists create and maintain a current collection of their work. In many cases, artists use the Portfolios for their primary website. To date, the associated Baker Artist Awards have recognized over 100 artists and awarded over $1million to individuals living and working in the region. Ahead of its time, the Portfolios has created an online community of artists that is visited by curators, collectors, museum leaders, philanthropic visionaries, and others in almost every country in the world. Universities and colleges use the site as a primer for students being introduced to the diversity of cultural production in Baltimore and in order to develop relationships and projects throughout the academic year and beyond. The Awards include a designated segment on Maryland Public Television's Art Works series, portions of which are rebroadcast in other national markets; a semiannual exhibition of visual arts awardees at the Baltimore Museum of Art, and finalist showcases throughout the year. During this time when artists struggle to create authentic and meaningful connections in an online setting, the Baker Artist Portfolios has over a decade of experience and offers a model for authentic online relationships with patrons and amongst artists. It is a source of community pride and inspiration, and a potential source of income for artists. 173218 36300 For nearly a decade, Urban Arts Leadership (UAL) has been the flagship program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance's equity and inclusion efforts. UAL serves as a career pipeline for emerging leaders from backgrounds that are underrepresented, particularly those of color, in the cultural workforce. Having deep experience in developing and operating UAL, GBCA is uniquely positioned to respond to the current economic and social upheavals exacerbated by the COVID 19 pandemic and the protests following the death of George Floyd and others at the hands of police. Working to address systemic barriers to equity in the cultural workforce, the program also focuses on tools and training for participating Host cultural organizations aimed at strengthening their ability to successfully recruit, hire, and retain a more diverse workforce. GBCA received its first-ever grant from the National Endowment for the Arts to deepen the work of the UAL. Its purpose was to develop a groundbreaking Field School working with folklorists to replicate ethical practices for community engagement. The first phase of this project, Beauty Beneath the Blight, focused on the stories of Pennsylvania Avenue in Baltimore City. Skills developed by Fellows through the Field School are replicable and carried with each into their respective placements and throughout their careers. Partners for this initiative include The Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute Folklife Center. Importantly, over the past seven years UAL alumni have launched exciting careers and are putting their commitment to justice and their training to work. Organizations who have benefited by hiring alumni include the Maryland State Arts Council, The National Museum for Women in the Arts, Maryland Citizens for the Arts, Maryland Volunteer Lawyers for the Arts, Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance, and many more. 101374 Over the past 18 years, GBCA has refined its role as a wayfinder and primary source of information for the cultural community. Through its regional events calendar, Culture Fly is the most comprehensive source of events and now virtual experiences. The site is easy to use and highly searchable by interest, geography, discipline, and more. It includes a weekly newsletter to 16,000 subscribers, Culture Flyer, that promotes a wide offering of free and half priced events. Because GBCA already had this infrastructure, as soon as the pandemic was declared organizations were quickly able to begin promoting online events. And because of the increased needs for learning at home and well-being resources, those categories were quickly added to the search options. Just prior to the pandemic, the Culture Fly site had 103,000 views annually and an annual average of 400 event postings at any given time. These programs offer additional exposure for GBCA members, saving on marketing costs and labor. JobsPlus is the number one resource for cultural positions in the region and is the most highly visited of all GBCA websites. GBCA is also a source for up-to-date funding, anti-racism resources, advocacy, space, and other resources. 461515 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 30 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 26 26 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 MD X X Jeannie L Howe 4102300200 120 W North Ave 305 Baltimore MD 21201 Fred Bronstein President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Bryn Parchman Vice President 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Heidi Daniel Treasurer 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Kevin Apperson Equity & Inclusion Co-Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Patricia Egan Finance Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Lee Kappelman Development Chair 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Navasha Daya Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Chris Bedford Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Randi Benesch Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeffrey Buchheit Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Casper Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jacqueline Copeland Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Carla DuPree Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Chris Ford Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 John Hendricks Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Samuel Hoi Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Garey Hyatt Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Todd Marcus Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Monica Lopez-Gonzalez Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Wendel Patrick Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 CJay Philip Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Donna Drew Sawyer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Sarah Schaffer Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Phoebe Stein Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Stacie Tobin Esq Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jonathan Waller Director 1.00 X 0 0 0 Jeannie Howe Executive Director 40.00 X 138468 0 12812 138468 0 12812 1 0 1 0 0 55460 224241 668766 948467 Program Service Revenu 900099 20000 20000 20000 407 407 Other Revenue 900099 480 480 480 969354 20480 0 407 X 2000 2000 126450 126450 138469 67388 45735 25346 278086 135333 91850 50903 26673 12981 8810 4882 37964 18476 12539 6949 46137 15660 30477 102122 34664 67458 6149 2613 3536 32452 27280 4868 304 5728 2678 3050 759 759 18804 13915 4889 2443 2077 366 Dues and subscriptions 4490 4490 Bad debt 3000 3000 1414 1414 833140 461515 283241 88384 324401 539160 15304 38479 17652 18604 7345 4333 254255 236103 36956 18152 2907 2000 404565 620728 5615 2778 23294 119743 50000 36337 78909 158858 X -18056 72756 343712 389114 325656 461870 404565 620728 136214 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 975525 967089 1075304 620378 861183 4499479 49757 52899 47529 25311 20000 195496 1025282 1019988 1122833 645689 881183 4694975 660025 451862 541020 297286 525911 2476104 0 660025 451862 541020 297286 525911 2476104 2218871 197 189 315 816 407 1924 197 189 315 816 407 1924 11356 9999 9167 5712 480 36714 1036835 1030176 1132315 652217 882070 4733613 0.46870 0.46970 0.00040 0.00040 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 36317 18164 18153 16192 14112 2080 201746 203827 -2081 18152 Line of credit 36337 36337 X 969354 0 969354 0 969354 833140 0 833140 0 833140 Part X, Line 2: GBCA is a nonprofit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The provisions included in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America provide consistent guidance for the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an entity's financial statements and prescribe a threshold of "more likely than not" for recognition of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. GBCA performed an evaluation of uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2020, and determined that there were no matters that would require recognition in the financial statements or which may have any effect on its tax-exempt status. As of December 31, 2020, the statute of limitations for fiscal years 2017 through 2020, remains open with the U.S. Federal jurisdiction or the various states and local jurisdictions in which GBCA files tax returns. It is GBCA's policy to recognize interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. 1 Cash Grant 6 90000 Part I, Line 2: Artists who created a Baker Artist Portfolio (www.bakerartist.org) were automatically eligible for one of five Baker Artist Awards, which include significant monetary prizes, an exhibition at the Baltimore Museum of Art, as well as a feature on Maryland Public Television's Artworks program.
