An Expression of the Spirit

Each month, we host an exhibit of artworks, including original drawings, paintings and photographs, created by friends and associates of Mercy Center Burlingame. The art gallery space is located on the second floor in the hallway between the main stairway and the Oak Room. If you're attending a retreat or program, we encourage you to visit the gallery, enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, and take a few moments to experience the world through the eyes of artists.

Current Exhibit

Photographs from the Archives by Stuart Bacon

Black and white photographs by Burlingame resident Stuart Bacon are on exhibit at the Mercy Center Art Gallery from May 1 to June 30. Bacon has chosen 22 favorites out of hundreds he has taken over 30 years of serious photography. He has captured scenes in Yellowstone, Yosemite, ghost towns in California and Montana, and even images of Iceland. "Each of these subjects spoke to me," he said.

His prints have won awards from the Belmont Arts Council, Photographic Center of Monterey Peninsula, Coyote Point Museum, San Mateo County Fair, Marin County Fair, Alameda County Fair and the California State Fair. He has exhibited in both single and group shows at the San Mateo Library, Burlingame Recreation Center, Davies Medical Center, Foster City Recreation Center, Keeble & Schuchat Photography, and San Mateo City Hall as well as having many prints selected for private collections.

Mercy Center Gallery hours are from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm.
