The gallery presents contemporary artworks by predominantly Queensland artists, both emerging and more established painters, sculptors and printmakers. New exhibitions are presented each month and work from the stockroom is always available for viewing. There is a special emphasis on sculpture and three-dimensional work in the gallery. Ceramic sculpture, conemporary art porcelain and artworks in bronze are a special feature.

The exhibition space consists of a large open area and several more intimate adjoining spaces, a large covered back deck and a rooftop terrace overlooking the city. The large outdoor sculpture garden is currently being developed and will be officially launched in February 2009.

The gallery has access for the disabled and a rooftop deck which commands extensive views over Brisbane and the mountains to the south-west.

In 2008 a new addition to the gallery is the introduction of Bauer-bird Books, Art Books both new and secondhand.
