Desc	GBCA's programming and service accomplishments allow individuals and organizations to be active participants in and supporters of the region's art and culture community. GBCA's initiatives include:Support for Artists:Baker Artist Portfolios and AwardsThe Baker Artist Portfolios and Awards were created to support artists and promote Baltimore as a strong creative community. Through a sophisticated online portfolio and significant monetary prizes for the winners, the Baker Artist program serves artists of all disciplines who live and work in the Greater Baltimore region. The portfolio site and awards were established by the William G. Baker, Jr. Memorial Fund and are a program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance.Artists may upload their portfolios onto the Baker Artist site, which promotes area artists to regional, national and international audiences. The site has been viewed by hundreds of thousands of art lovers, critics, gallery owners, academics, and leaders in creative business in nearly every country around the globe. For the 2016 season, the following awards prizes will be given to selected artists: the $50,000 Mary Sawyers Imboden Prize, the $20,000 Mary Sawyers Baker Prize, and three $5,000 prizes: The Semmes G. Walsh, Nancy Haragan and Board of Governors Awards. Rubys Artist GrantsThe Rubys are project-based funding of up to $10,000 for emerging and established Baltimore-regional artists to support the creation of innovative artistic projects. The grants support the region's gems - the local creative community of performing, visual, media, and literary artists.The Rubys were created in 2013 with the vision and start-up funding from the Robert W. Deutsch Foundation as a program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance to provide meaningful support to individual artists as well as enrich the arts and broader community of Baltimore and the five surrounding counties.Professional Development:Urban Arts Leadership ProgramThe Urban Arts Leadership Program (UALP) is a program of the Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance (GBCA) and was designed to increase the participation of groups that have been historically underrepresented, particularly those of color, in the management of cultural and artistic organizations. UALP is a pipeline for high achieving young leaders (college seniors or recent graduates) who have demonstrated a strong commitment to this goal. The Program offers professional development, networking opportunities, and paid Fellowship placements to aspiring arts administrators. Equally important, UALP offers Fellowship Host organizations tools and training that support institutional changes that encourage greater equity and inclusion. The development of UALP has been guided by community input and the participation of more than 30 administrators from partnering cultural organizations. It is an immediate response to the needs of early career professionals and is meant to strengthen the cultural field.Artists U/BaltimoreGBCA hosts the Baltimore branch of Artists U/ Baltimore, a grassroots, artist-run platform that provides tools and professional development for sustaining one's life as an artist. Artists U works to empower artists to build lives that are balanced, productive, and sustainable. All Artists U programs are artist-led, involve peer-to-peer contact, and free for all participants. Artists U programming includes workshops, group meetings and intensives, and one-on-one planning sessions.Artists U was founded in Philadelphia by choreographer Andrew Simonet, and now also has branches in Baltimore and South Carolina.JobsPlus JobsPlus is the region's most expansive online listing of the latest employment opportunities in the cultural sector.

Arts and Culture Happy HoursHappy Hours take place regularly throughout the year to provide informal networking opportunities while exploring host organization's facilities and programming.Brown Bag House TalksThese daytime programs invite experts from the field to discuss topics relevant to the cultural community such as equity and inclusion, fundraising, and audience development. The presentations provide interactive learning opportunities.Critical Response ProcessLiz Lerman's Critical Response Process is a widely-recognized method that nurtures the development of artistic works-in-progress through a four-step, facilitated dialogue between artists, peers, and audiences. In use for over 20 years, CRP has been embraced by artmakers, educators, and administrators at theater companies, dance departments, orchestras, museums, and, more. CRP has deepened dialogue between artists and audiences; it has enhanced learning between teachers and students. By extension it has proven valuable for all kinds of creative endeavors, work situations, and collaborative relationships within and beyond the arts, from kindergartens to corporations.Audience DevelopmentCulture Fly is the region's most dynamic and comprehensive online cultural event calendar. The accompanying weekly Culture Flyer offers discount tickets for member organizations to the public through channels that reach more than 1 million potential ticket buyers.	Desc

Explanation	GBCA is a not-for-profit 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, 2015, 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, 2015, the statute of limitations for tax years 2012 through 2015 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.	ExplanationTxt
