Bridge Art Gallery
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.
Growth in Tough Times - Current Exhibit
In the 32nd exhibition of the Bridge Art Gallery, artists explore themes of resilience and overcoming challenges during turbulent times.
Artwork can be viewed at the Bridge Art Gallery in the Department of Psychiatry.

Healing Within
In the past few years, we have seen significant national turmoil and a growing mental health crisis. In response, we ask artists to respond to the theme of Healing Within, while considering topics such as healing, community, and togetherness.
