The Gallery hosts many groups of visitors, providing all of them with professional guidance through the exhibitions and a chance to get to know the city of Umm el-Fahem and its people.

Groups of pupils of all ages, Arabs and Jews, come to the gallery as part of their school program to learn about art and to experience art first-handedly. They work in the spacious and lit workshops and are exposed to painting, sculpting and ceramics techniques. They are guided by professional instructors provided by the gallery and by the Ministry of Education.

The Gallery organizes guided tours in the gallery and in Umm el-Fahem for interested groups. The tours include a guided visit at the exhibition showing at the gallery, a visit to the archive, a guided tour at strategic points in Umm el-Fahem, hilltops and the old parts of the city.

The Gallery's "investment" in the future, embodied in its educational programs, is complemented by a serious and sincere approach to the past. The archive, established within the gallery in 2008, is working continuously towards a mapping of the elderly population in Um el-Fahem and Wadi Ara area. The working team, headed by Historian Dr. Mustafa Kabha, devotes its effort to the documentation process by means of photography, video filming, oral interviews and gathering of other materials.

Since 2005, the gallery is devoting a considerable effort to help youth at risk from Umm el-Fahem and the Wadi Ara area. Through tight cooperation with the local municipality's welfare departments, a connection is made with families of children at risk and the children are invited to spend a day a week at the gallery, to work in the workshops, express their feelings through art and improve their communication skills. The process is tightly supervised by professional caretakers from the welfare department in the municipality.

Women Empowerment
Since its establishment, The Um el-Fahem Gallery has been trying to address the issue of women enforcement by inviting local women to take part in activities in the gallery. In 2010, for the first time, due to growing community awareness and to help of local social services, a substantial connection between the gallery and a group of interested women has been formed. This group of 15 is aiming to help women become active, creative and self confident. They call themselves "takween" which means "coming into being". Their long term objectives are to impact housewives in the city, encourage creative thinking and help women form a personal, independent sense of self.

The gallery provides this group with financial support and the know-how that will help them achieve independence.

The gallery organizes and hosts conferences, symposiums and seminars on a range of subjects in the fields of art, culture and architecture.

Since 2006, parallel to all its on-going activities, the Gallery is working towards the establishment of the Um el-Fahem Art Museum, the first Arab museum in Israel.
