A local art tradition since 1998, the annual Via Arté Italian Street Painting Festival comes to the Bakersfield Museum of Art. On Oct. 16 and 17, the festival will be held at The Marketplace from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. The goal is to have professional artists use their imagination using the asphalt as their canvas just like the classic Italian Street Painting style.
