ABOUT THE EDITH BAKER ART SCHOLARSHIP
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 30 years before retiring in 2004. Proceeds from several DADA events held each year, as well as from collection jars at each DADA member location, benefit the Edith Baker Art Scholarship Fund. The scholarship annually benefits a graduating senior from Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts who is planning to attend college and continue his or her studies in the visual arts. Besides a cash award, the finalists and the winner present their portfolios to a jury, and display their works at the Spring Gallery Walk through an exhibition at a member gallery (Norwood Flynn). The winner also has the opportunity to pursue a summer internship and a mentor-for-a-day program with DADA member of the winner’s choice.
