Today, the Gallery still sees a fantastic volume of tourists and local craftspeople who come through the doors to visit, as well as to exhibit. Each month the Gallery exhibits a variety of contemporary works in many mediums by local, regional, and touring artists. The Society also operates a gift shop that features the work of local artists and crafts people. Upstairs, there is room for small workshops such as children's art classes offered each summer. Guided tours are also offered to local school children.
The Gallery's success and growth over the years has allowed for a full time Gallery Manager, a part time Exhibition Coordinator, and a part-time Education Coordinator. Volunteers, however, are still essential to all aspects of the organization.
The Gallery is funded through revenue generated by the gift shop, memberships, donations, fundraising projects, the City of Williams Lake Fee for Service, Community Arts Council Grants, and Gaming Funds.
