The Greater Baltimore Cultural Alliance (GBCA) was founded to nurture and promote a vibrant, diverse, and sustainable arts and cultural community to the region. Since its launch in 2001, GBCA has served as both a catalyst and an incubator for important programs and initiatives.
GBCA hosts the Baltimore branch of Artists U, 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 Andrew Simonet, and they now have branches in Baltimore and South Carolina.
