BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KERO) â The first to close and the last to reopen. That s the mantra running through the head of Amy Smith, Executive Director of the Bakersfield Museum of Art. The arts really matter. When you re looking at art you don t necessarily need to be in a crowded area. There s lots of spacing, Smith said. We believe arts are a catalyst for this community.
The BMoA has decided to join the statewide campaign #RestartArtsCA. The campaign is a call for Gov. Gavin Newsom and state health officials to reopen arts safely with state-issued guidelines and allow arts to be a part of the solution to Californiaâs recovery and collective mental health.
