Since opening in 2001, Julie Baker Fine Art has focused on exhibiting the work of emerging artists from across the country with a growing emphasis on artists from California. The gallery's mission is to expand the audience for contemporary art by presenting work outside of the mainstream in a non-intimidating, educational atmosphere while competing on the international level by participating in quality art fairs and working in collaboration with galleries and museums. The gallery primarily focuses on identifying and exhibiting artists who present a contemporary vision to the traditional art forms of painting, drawing and sculpture through a unique approach to process, medium and imagery. Works are exhibited in a charming and elegant space in historic downtown Nevada City.
