Lending Program

About the Lending Program

Since 1997, the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation has partnered with museums to exhibit artwork from its collections. The Foundation staff work with museum curators to facilitate their research and selection process, connect with artists, and develop publications and programs. The Foundation coordinates venue outreach and shipping logistics when exhibitions tour to other museums.

Testimonials

The National Museum of Women in the Arts was privileged to co-organize Positive Fragmentation: From the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation. Working in collaboration with Jordan and his team, the exhibition included over 100 works by 21 women artists selected from the Foundation’s rich and varied collection. Our community was the beneficiary of Jordan’s singular dedication to the study and display of works of art on paper. The Foundation is committed to foregrounding great work by great women artists.

SUSAN FISHER STERLING / THE ALICE WEST DIRECTOR, NATIONAL MUSEUM OF WOMEN IN THE ARTS

The Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation’s collection is remarkable in breadth and quality. Combine that with Jordan’s uncommon generosity and genuine commitment to making these works accessible, and you have a recipe for something wonderful to happen.

Rand Suffolk Nancy & Holcombe T. Green, Jr. / Director, High Museum of Art

Jordan Schnitzer is a remarkable innovator and one of our time's greatest and most generous art patrons. He has assembled an extraordinary collection of over 22,000 prints, paintings, and sculptures. These works of art are not hiding under a rock!

Paula Panczenko / Former Director, Tandem Press UW-Madison

As a curator, it’s a bittersweet reality that after years of preparation, we’re usually only granted a few months to see an exhibition before it ends. Thankfully, The Art of Food has had a much longer life, and to see it travel to so many institutions across the country over the past four years has been incredibly humbling. I’ve especially loved seeing the ways each museum tailored the exhibition for their space and created meaningful programs to forge deeper connections with their respective communities. I’m so grateful to Jordan Schnitzer and his team at his Family Foundation for seeing The Art of Food’s potential.

Olivia Miller / Director, University of Arizona Museum of Art

The Parrish Art Museum was delighted to partner with the Jordan Schnitzer Family Foundation. The Art of Food was one of the best-attended exhibitions at the Parrish, featuring a high-quality roster of participating artists, many of whom have a deep connection to Long Island’s legendary East End, where the Parrish is located. Not only did the Foundation support our educational programming, but Jordan Schnitzer also generously engaged with our patrons, trustees and the press for an unforgettable exhibition tour and conversation!
