Located in the Lesher Center for the Arts, the Bedford Gallery exhibits
the work of historic, modern, and contemporary artists. Its mission is
to present exhibitions that reflect and engage the diverse audiences of
the Contra Costa region. The Bedford has assembled a group of
contemporary artists whose work investigates the role that home,
habitat, and environment play in our modern lives. From the role of the
interior in early modern genre painting to recent deconstructions of the
home that have upended the way we think about the space we inhabit, this
exhibition explores the natural and constructed spaces that we call
home.
