In the main gallery, a changing schedule of 6 shows per year allow both members and non-members to display and sell their artwork. In the smaller side gallery, CAL members artwork is displayed and sold. Artwork in the gallery reflects the artistic voice of the community. Both the themed and non-themed shows feature work by high school students, amateurs, beginners alongside University professors, and experienced and professional artists. For many artists, CALs walls are the first place their work is displayed publicly. Additionally, CAL frequently includes work by elementary school children from its partner in education school.

High quality classes are offered to children, teens, and adults. The classes are taught by experienced instructors and professional artists.
