At Bakery of the Poets our Mission is to help create artists! Our goal is to help create 100 artists in 4 years! That's 100 creative individuals who attain the dream of earning a living wage as artists!

And now a word from our (fiscal) sponsor

Fractured Atlas is a wonderful organization which supports artists and small arts organizations like ours by shepherding them under the umbrella of their 501(c)3 protection. This allows individuals to give tax-deductible support artists and artistic causes important to them. Fiscal sponsorship also enables small organizations to grow responsibly; providing financial oversight which helps ensure donation resources are used properly. For more information feel free to email our Founder, Maya Jewell by clicking on the email link at the bottom of the page.

What your gift means

Your gift helps shepherd the talent of new artists, providing them with the opportunities for mentorship, education promotion and support that will help them create a sustainable arts career. Your support will help revolutionize arts industries; providing resources which aid in creating a philanthropic business model. One which ensures artists receive their fair share of the revenue generated by their work with Bakery. A model which ensures Bakery of the Poets' ability to help create artists regardless of the decimation of arts funding. For more information on our programs please contact our Founder, Maya Jewell by clicking on the link a the bottom of the page.

Help create a new author!

Eric Pardue is an Air Force sergeant with a story to tell. One which involves 14 countries in 40 days, the fog of war and the mother of all divorces. Single Servings is a wonderful novel currently being developed by Bakery and with your support will be published in October of this year.

Our goal is to raise $8,000 over the next six months to cover the project's costs. Your donations will directly help create a new author. In addition to our usual (see next column) acknowledgments; Eric's supporters will be thanked in the acknowledgments of the published novel. Major donors (those who give $1,000.00 or more) have the opportunity become co-publishers whose names can be listed on the copyright and/or title pages of the published novel. Those making gifts of over $2,000.00 will receive personal correspondence from the author (now stationed in Greece) describing the publication process and giving insight into his own creative process.
