Sponsors may suggest artists. However, artists must apply for and be accepted as participants in the exhibit based on their portfolio and registration. If a suggested artist is not accepted as a participant for Via Arté, you, as a sponsor, are allowing us to choose an artist for your square. All artists must apply by September 7, 2026.
Artist registration information can be found at viaartebakersfield.com/artists.
