“Art like this is the reason people have inspiration art like this is the reason people come and say that it’s cool I want to look at that”
Sharp with the Arts Council of Kern tells me that Kern County has always been a hub for the arts but in the last decade he said it’s been lost and that’s what the mural means to Kern County.
