INTERSECTIONS

About this Project

Intersections is a transformative community mural project

that celebrates the connections and shared stories across our diverse neighborhoods. Through the power of art, we aim to highlight the intersecting lives, cultures, and experiences that converge in our community. Intersections will add artwork to some of our busiest streets, transforming these spaces by adding beauty, inspiration, and joy. We may have different journeys but we travel through our community on a shared road.

Mural Locations :

Intersections has brought vibrant public art to three prominent locations throughout Bakersfield, transforming highly traveled spaces into colorful reflections of our community.

The first mural is located on California Avenue, beneath the Highway 99 overpass, and was created under the direction of lead artist Wendy Johnson.

The second mural can be found on and around Garces Circle, at the intersection of Chester Avenue, Golden State Avenue, and 30th Street, and was led by artists Alex Gallardo and Jennifer Williams-Cordova.

The third mural is located beneath the Highway 204 overpass near Q Street, with Jesse Moreno serving as lead artist. Together, these murals bring creativity, color, and a sense of community to some of Bakersfield’s most recognizable public spaces.
