The Arts, Recreation & Community Services department of the city of Walnut Creek oversees recreation, youth and family services, civic arts education, the Lesher Center for the Arts and the Bedford Gallery. It also manages and installs public art exhibitions throughout town. The director of this division is Barry Gordon. Bedford Gallery has become a well-regarded, Bay Area-gallery that exhibits museum-quality shows. Each year, the mid-sized gallery curates approximately 5-6 exhibitions, focusing on a variety of themes and showcasing the works of historically-important, modern and contemporary artists (both local and international in scope).
