It is the mission of The Craig Gallery at Alderney Landing Community Cultural Centre to increase awareness and understanding of contemporary visual arts within the community through exhibitions, lectures and symposia, public programs, publications, and adherence to standard museum practices. The Craig seeks to present and facilitate the widest possible range of art practices and to reflect excellence and cultural diversity through all aspects of its programs.

The Craig Gallery operates on a commission based model instead of paying artist fees. This means that the gallery works hard to promote the exhibitions and sell works. The gallery takes a 35% commission fee on works sold.
