De concert avec les membres de son conseil d’administration et ses six employés, la Guilde organise des expositions, des conférences, des tours guidés et d’autres événements culturels distinctifs qui mettent en valeur les œuvres exceptionnelles d’artistes canadiens et attirent chaque année quelque 5 000 personnes. Les activités de la Guilde sont financées par les recettes issues de sa galerie ainsi que par des subventions fédérales et provinciales, les cotisations de ses membres et la générosité de donateurs.

La Guilde présente chaque année une dizaine d’expositions qui réunissent des œuvres d’artistes et d’artisans renommés ou prometteurs qui élargissent les perspectives sur l’art canadien et l’identité canadienne.

Le petit musée de la Guilde relate l’histoire de ses cent ans d’existence. La Guilde y propose des expositions et des tours guidés de sa collection permanente d’art inuit, l’une des plus remarquables au Canada, qui constitue un patrimoine culturel inestimable. La Guilde a joué un rôle majeur dans la préservation de pièces anciennes et contemporaines d’artisanat tel que pratiqué par l’ensemble des Canadiens, comme en témoigne sa collection permanente. La Guilde met aussi à la disposition des chercheurs son catalogue et ses archives, une somme énorme de connaissances qui relate en détail sa propre histoire sociale, l’évolution de l’artisanat au Canada et l’art des peuples inuits et des Premières Nations.
