BMoA welcomes back visitors with number of exhibitions, activities By Ema Sasic
»
AS SPRING POPS UP IN BAKERSFIELD, SO TOO DO THE NUMBER OF ACTIVITIES AVAILABLE THROUGH THE BAKERSFIELD MUSEUM OF ART. The museum reopened to the public in late March after nearly a year of being closed due to state COVID-19 guidelines. Putting it plainly, Lauren Marty, BMoA marketing and communications manager, said it’s good to be back.
“We are very excited to have visitors join us at BMoA. It’s been a very long year without them,” said Marty. Currently, the museum has three exhibitions on display. The exhibitions opened virtually in February, but visitors can view them in person through the end of August. “Color + Figure: Paintings by Linda Christensen” portrays faceless women, creating both liveliness and anonymity, according to the museum’s website. This is the artist’s first solo museum exhibition. » See more of BMOA on PAGE 90.
