Mission and programs · 2024

• Exhibits - The primary purpose of the Bakersfield Museum of Art is to provide a broad spectrum of visual arts experiences through the exhibition and preservation of fine art, educational programs, community outreach, and special events. We have approximately 25,000 visitors each year. In addition to free admission and extended hours on the first Friday of each month, we offer second Saturday lectures and free art activities for families on the second Saturday of each month. We also offer free admission to military families during the summer months through the blue star museum program.

  Expenses $272,451 · Revenue $48,813

• The Museum provides significant educational programs including docent tours to students, art education classes during the school day for 5th grade students, after-school art enrichment classes, semester-long art enrichment classes for high school students, and summer art camps. More than 3,000 students participate in docent tours during a school year. Art education classes for 5th grade students reach more than 3,500 students annually and more than 5,000 students are served through the after-school art enrichment classes at 17 different schools. The high school free semester-long program provides guidance, mentoring, and education to 20 students annually where they learn also about art in our community and skills to pursue a career in the visual arts. Summer camp reaches approximately 500 children ages 5 to 17 years.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.

Grants made

No itemized grants to organizations. Schedule I is filed only by organizations that granted more than $5,000 to a recipient, so most filers have none.
