The Gallery Shop carries an ever changing array of gift ideas and art works at reasonable prices. Access is from Ruthven Street or through the Gallery. Ceramics, glass, textiles, jewellery, woodwork, prints, and hand made cards are displayed. Visitors can browse at their leisure and choose from the varied works of regional and interstate artists to find a special item with unique appeal.

Events such as lectures, public forums, workshops, demonstrations, floor talks and guided tours are presented.

Groups are welcome and, to enable preparation for their visit, are advised to book at least two weeks ahead by telephoning the gallery on (07) 4688 6652.

There is emphasis on youth involvement through specially organised activities designed for student groups. These cater for ages from pre-school to the tertiary sector. The Artist-In-Residence program offers patrons the opportunity to interact directly with artists.

The gallery also runs education programs for artists which assist them in such important matters as how to prepare for an exhibition.

RADF
The Toowoomba Regional Council supports the state government's RADF (Regional Arts Development Fund) initiative.

This fund supports and aids the development of arts and culture at a local level throughout regional Queensland and provides funding to individuals and organisations for one-off, short-term projects that offer arts, cultural and heritage development opportunities. The program helps to increase the sustainability of creative industries and to improve the quality of life through community cultural development.
