In 1966, in the Mocnik furniture store in Wels, the artists' guild was able to start the “m” gallery with Helmut Berger as director. The gallery later moved to a converted horse stable in the courtyard of the Hotel Parzer on Kaiser-Josef-Platz and changed the name to Gulden-Galerie . In 1976 the gallery of the city of Wels was started and the exhibition 25 Years of the Wels Artists' Guild was carried out and opened with Werner Wigelbeyer , member of the state parliament and cultural advisor .

In 1978 the Gulden-Galerie was relocated to Haas-Hof on Stadtplatz and began to be named Galerie Forum. In 1988 the premises of the gallery were terminated and the exhibitions were relocated to the council chamber of the market town of Thalheim near Wels . The Forum gallery has been located in the Volksbank building in the city of Wels since 1990 .

In 2002 the exhibition 50 Years of the Wels Artists' Guild was held together with the Wels City Gallery with curator G. Mayer. From 1951 to 2001, 108 guild members were kept in the archive and nearly 300 exhibitions were shown during the period mentioned.
