It was one of the first galleries to make use of the internet in 1996.[1]

Mark Loria Gallery is a member of the Art Dealers Association of Canada.[citation needed]The gallery sells indigenous art to private collectors, governments, museums, architects, designers, and corporate clients, as well as offering other art-related services.
