## About

A juried contemporary art gallery in Walnut Creek, California.

Bedford Gallery is a contemporary art space located within the Lesher Center for the Arts in Walnut Creek, California, operating as part of the City of Walnut Creek's Arts + Rec Department. Founded in 1968 as the Civic Arts Gallery, it was later renamed to honor donors Peter and Kirsten Bedford. The gallery organizes and presents four exhibitions each year, alongside lectures, workshops, panel discussions and youth education programs that engage the diverse audiences of the Contra Costa region.

It also offers docent-led tours, a venue rental space, and receives support from the Diablo Regional Arts Association and the Lesher Foundation.
