It’s really hard to put into words how significant an impact BOPA has had on my career and life as a Baltimore City-based artist. There’s no doubt that BOPA’s awards and prizes have been beneficial to me, but the highest value has always been BOPA’s openness to collaborate and showcase all artists of our community regardless of their career status. Most of my career ‘firsts’ as a baby artist happened thanks to BOPA!”
