COVID Safety Protocols

Effective July 1, 2022, Bedford Gallery and the Lesher Center will no longer require proof of full vaccination or masks to be worn while inside our facility. Wearing a mask in indoor public settings continues to be strongly recommended by Contra Costa Health Services.

The Lesher Center has a new HVAC chiller for cooling and boiler to increase the comfort of our guests. Our top of the line HVAC has hospital-grade air filters with Plasma Air Self-Cleaning Bi-Polar Ionizers that cycle fresh, clean air throughout the Lesher Center.

Additionally, the LCA has a dedicated custodial team for cleaning and sanitization. Our regular cleaning schedule is also complemented with electrostatic spray surface cleaning, using a charged mist to disinfect commonly touched areas. We strongly encourage visitors to use readily available hand sanitizer or wash hands with soap and water for 20 seconds before entering the gallery. A soft barrier has been installed at the front desk.
