Grundy Art Gallery organizes a programme of contemporary visual art exhibitions that feature the work of established and emerging artists from the UK and abroad, as well as historically important artwork loaned from major UK institutions and objects from its own permanent collection. This programme is increasingly ambitious and wide-ranging.

Being situated in Blackpool is an important factor in the gallery's recent and planned development. Its programmes draw upon Blackpool's heritage and contemporary culture, and whilst they do not always respond to Blackpool, the programme as a whole is developed in consideration of it.

Grundy's collection, which is displayed as part of the temporary exhibitions programme and is not on permanent display, includes Victorian oils and watercolours, modern British paintings, contemporary prints, jewellery and video, oriental ivories, ceramics, and photographs and souvenirs of Blackpool.
