With 3,500 square feet of exhibition space, the Bedford Gallery is the largest community-based arts facility between the Bay Area and Sacramento. The Bedford Gallery, a program of the City of Walnut Creek, is dedicated to providing the public with opportunities to learn about and experience contemporary visual art. The Bedford organizes and presents five to six exhibitions each year, with a broad range of themes intended to reflect and engage the diverse audience of the Contra Costa region. In addition to exhibitions, the gallery offers lectures, workshops, panel discussions, docent tours and other public programs.
