The 4,000-foot exhibition space usually exhibits 80-120 works of art, and it is attached to the 52,000-foot warehouse where eleven art professionals work maintaining and managing the collection.

The Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation has also been instrumental in loaning works for sole exhibitions from its collections to 120 museums. All these exhibitions are loaned at no cost. In 2022, we had twenty openings around the country such as Global Asias, 18 Asian artists, Kara Walker, premiere Black artist of our time, Art of Food, twenty-five artists with food in their art, Marie Watt, amazing Native American artist, and others.
