Bridge Art Gallery - Permanent Collection

 

The Bridge Art Gallery aims to provide a space for local artists to display their artwork while creating a comforting and therapeutic environment for patients, families, and employees. We hope to diminish the stigma and hesitance associated with entering our part of the Medical Center.  Over the past 13 years, our community art gallery has shown 797 works of art from 382 artists worldwide. The gallery holds three shows each year.
