Currently, there are over 80 members whose talents include pottery, woodworking, sculpting, glass fusing, metal and iron work, ceramics, silver smithing, basketry, jewelers, photographers, fabric artists, and painters with various mediums such as watercolor, oil, acrylic, mixed media, and collage.

The Guild hosts annual Spring and Fall art shows on the Oxford Square featuring musicians and children's activities. Many members also participate in numerous regional and national exhibitions, as well as the annual Holiday Art Market and Guild Show held at the Powerhouse Community Arts Center in Oxford, Mississippi.
