For over 60 years, BMoA has provided outstanding exhibits and offered unique educational opportunities in the visual arts to Bakersfield and its surrounding communities. Bakersfield Museum of Art’s mission is to inspire and engage diverse audiences by providing a broad spectrum of creative visual arts experiences through the exhibition and preservation of fine art, educational programs, community outreach and special events.
Programs: Exhibits - the Bakersfield Museum of Art's primary purpose is to provide a broad spectrum of visual arts experiences through the exhibition and preservation of fine art, educational programs, community outreach, and special events. We have approximately 25,000 visitors each year. In addition to semi-annual free family days, we offer free First Fridays to allow everyone an opportunity to see the museum at no cost. Education - the museum provides significant educational programs, including docent tours, after-school art enrichment classes, free semester-long art enrichment classes for high school students, and summer art camps. We also teach art in a summer art camp setting to approximately 450 children in addition to pre-school classes.
