Financial health
We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

EXHIBITIONS AND CURATORIAL PROJECTS:In 2024, we presented 29 exhibitions and curatorial projects ranging from unjuried community BYO Art Shows to curated fine art exhibitions co-presented by institutional partners. We highlighted creators from all career levels through visual art, multidisciplinary installations, performance-based work, and thematic shows that address social issues relevant to our community. We also collaborate with guest curators to bring new perspectives and voices into our space.

DIGITAL RESOURCES FOR ARTISTS:The Bakerys administrative team is proud to maintain several resources on our website including an Artist Directory (with 350+ folks and counting), an Artists Opportunities Page (we shared over 300 opportunities in 2024), a weekly event listing (highlighting over 468 regional, mission-aligned events), a new Arts and Culture Map (for locals and tourists alike), and our blog called AltGaze (platform for local writers). We started the weekly event listing in 2021, the blog in 2022, and launched the remaining resources in 2023. In 2024, we received a grant from Fulton County in support of these resources.
