Since 1998, we've raised more than $10.5 million for new and improved library facilities, collections, programs, and services for both the Walnut Creek and Ygnacio Valley libraries. Your donations keep our libraries growing! | |

Erin Fong | The Sensation of Color
The Bedford Gallery at the Lesher Center
Now – April 2, 2023
Our world is saturated with colors that inform our day-to-day experience in subtle, unconscious ways. Through dedicated experimentation, Bay Area artist and letterpress printer Erin Fong explores this concept and how color affects our emotional responses. Erin Fong: The Sensation of Color will transform the gallery into a vibrant lab with the artist’s prints, paintings, and installations. The exhibition invites visitors to tap into their experience, both individually and collectively, as they are immersed in hues across the spectrum. How do colors make us feel, and how do they foster human connection?
