The Gallery Committee began at the same time art classes were initiated, more than forty years ago. The Gallery was initially used to exhibit student art. Now, artists from the entire Chicagoland area are invited to apply for an exhibit and must be juried in by the Gallery Committee. If selected, the artists are given a month-long show. Occasionally, they are paired with another artist with whom their works are compatible.

The Association advertises for artists in the Chicago Artists Coalition bulletin and in The Reader. Artists must promote their own work in their respective neighborhood publications. They must also provide refreshments for the openings, which traditionally are held during the first week-end of their exhibits. The artist of the month usually designs, has postcards printed, and mails them to selected guests. The Association also sends announcements to Triangle members and to the Board of Directors.

In June, students painting in the Art School hold a special exhibition of their work. This show is one of the most popular and well-attended openings of the entire year.
