When the first Art Show: Bedford took place in 1973 St. Matthew’s parishioner Mary Berol’s dream had come true. It was her vision that an art-oriented and community event benefitting local charities could be both culturally enriching and fun. Parishioners and community friends contributed energy and time to the affair and a new Bedford tradition was born.
More than 50 wonderful years later the parishioners of St Matthew's are still living Mary's dream. The show takes place annually over two weekends at the end of January, with up to 50 local artists taking part.
Art Show: Bedford is St Matthew's largest outreach project. All profit from the show is dontated to local charities which serve our neighbors most in need.
