The Pictograph Gallery provides an opportunity for first-time exhibits for many artists. The Ontario Arts Council has designated the Gallery as a Recommender Gallery for Exhibition Assistance Grants. These Grants assist the artists with some of their exhibition expenses such as framing and shipping. Each year up to six artists are assisted through this program.
The Pictograph Gallery sells the varied works of local and regional artists and craftspeople in their gift shop and at the annual Christmas sale. Among these items you will find pottery, paintings and basketry as well as a variety of needlecraft and other items.
The Pictograph Gallery has also hosted a variety of workshops for both its members and the community at large. Several of the workshops held have been in areas such as:
