Over the years, Gow Langsford Gallery has organized and hosted more than 500 exhibitions across New Zealand and even internationally. The gallery has actively participated in international art fairs, showcasing its artists' work at events like Art Basel Hong Kong and Sydney Contemporary.
At present, the roster of artists represented by Gow Langsford Gallery mainly consists of well-established artists from Australasia, although it has also been successful in attracting artists from Europe and America. Additionally, the gallery sponsors an annual award known as the Gow Langsford Gallery Art Prize, which is presented to an outstanding recent graduate in the field of visual arts who has demonstrated exceptional talent and resilience in their work.
