The Marketplace Bakersfield | Bakersfield, CA

Bakersfield Museum of Art’s annual Via Arté Italian Street Painting Festival has become a Bakersfield tradition, bringing together the community and the visual arts since 1998. Using the asphalt as canvas, spectators watch each year as artists unlock their imaginations and turn the parking lot of The Marketplace into a gallery of amazing chalk masterpieces in this juried art festival format.
This family-friendly event allows visitors to create their own masterpiece, too. Hundreds of children (and adults) participate each year in our Via Bambino area, showcasing their talents and trying their hand at the ancient art of street painting.
Bambino squares will be available for purchase at the festival. Prices start at $25 and include a 12-count box of professional-quality chalk pastels.
