Visit the museum to experience an exhibition showcasing the beauty of color through a variety of contemporary artists!

Join us August 19, 2025 – March 14, 2026 for the exhibition, “Color Outside the Lines from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation”. This exhibition examines the ways artists have used color to question institutions, beliefs, and expectations. Some of the artists included here celebrate and amplify colors intrinsic to their cultures, showcasing beauty.

Artists like Faith Ringgold and Christopher Myers, for instance, create works inspired by African quilts and stories; these pieces emphasize the vivid contrasts in color often prevalent in African textiles. Other artists employ color to confront stereotypes and subvert expectations.

Artists include Derrick Adams, Polly Apfelbaum, Antonius-Tín Bui, Iván Carmona (OR), Lauren Hana Chai, Caitlin Cherry, Sam Gilliam, Hock E Aye Vi Edgar Heap of Birds, Ana María Hernando, Jenny Holzer, Salomón Huerta, Anish Kapoor, James Lavadour (OR), Christopher Myers, Faith Ringgold, Isaka Shamsud-Din (OR), Andy Warhol, and Stanley Whitney.
