October 5-6 2013
The Marketplace
On October 5-6, the Bakersfield Museum of Art hosted our most successful outside exhibit. Once again we transformed the Market Place into a work of art during the 14th Annual Via Arté street painting festival.  Using the asphalt as canvas, professional and student artists unlocked their imaginations and turned the parking lot into a gallery of amazing chalk masterpieces. To see the FINAL creations of 2012, please visit our Multimedia Site HERE.

November 1, 2013
The Bakersfield Museum of Art & Central Park at Mill Creek

Celebrate Día de los Muertos with the Bakersfield Museum of Art’s annual Altares de Familia community-wide celebration. Together with our entrusted community partners, we bring this unique cultural, artistic and educational experience to the residents of Kern County. Ancient Aztec legends claim that every fall the veil separating our worlds disappears allowing spirits to return to their loved ones on the Day of the Dead. 

On Friday, November 1 (5-9 p.m.), join this time-honored tradition by viewing and/or participating in the Altar creating event held in the serenity of the museum’s gardens. Dozens of local families gather each year at the museum’s sculpture garden to pay homage to friends and family that have passed.
