The attached print studio produces limited editions and artist books using traditional techniques like gravure and carbon pigment printing, allowing visitors to see how artists work with multiple printing methods on site. This working space reflects the gallery's commitment to merging printmaking craft with contemporary art practice.

The ground-floor location on Bryant Street makes the gallery easy to access and navigate without stairs or elevation changes. Regular exhibition schedules keep the displays fresh, and the space also hosts artist conversations and offers consulting services for visitors interested in building personal or professional art collections.

Gallery 16 Editions, the gallery's publishing arm, produced artist books and portfolios, among them Barry Gifford's Las Quatro Reinas, Prince Andrew Romanoff's The Boy Who Would Be Tsar, and Colter Jacobsen's Good Times: Bad Trips, made with Scott Hewicker and Cliff Hengst.
