The Guild hosts spring sales in May and Christmas sales in late November and early December each year. Following the success and popularity of adaptations made during the Covid-19 pandemic, these sales are now held in the mixed media studio at the Guild building.
| Fireweed Studio operates from early June through early September. Regular hours are Tuesdays from 5:00 pm to 7:30 pm (during the Yellowknife Farmers Market), and Saturdays from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm. Special openings are on June 21 (Aboriginal Day), and July 1 (Canada Day and ice-cream bowl sale).
Fireweed Studio is a tiny log frame building designated as a City of Yellowknife heritage site. The building reflects the style of old northern mining camps. It was built as a blacksmith shop at Brock Mine in the 1930's, then served as a powder magazine at Giant Mine, and was relocated to Yellowknife city hall in 1978 to serve as a tourist information centre. The Guild has been using the building as its summer sales shop since 1993.
