ABOUT THE EDITH BAKER ART SCHOLARSHIP AND ARTIST CAREER DEVELOPMENT FUND: To celebrate its 20th anniversary in 2005, DADA created a scholarship honoring a respected member of the Dallas art community and one of its founding members, Edith Baker. Edith owned and directed The Edith Baker Gallery in Dallas for nearly thirty years before retiring in 2004. Every year, the Edith Baker Art Scholarship and Artist Career Development Fund financially benefits a student pursuing the study of visual arts in college, presents a career fair at Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts, juried exhibitions of Booker T and Dallas County Community College students’ artwork, and biannual educational events.
