JSMA Collects

August 25, 2026 – March 13, 2027

Exhibition

Yearly, the museum presents its growing permanent collection to our community. These opportunities take many forms such as thematic exhibitions, selections of new acquisitions, and curated offerings designed to engage academically and civically both within the museum as well as at the Collection Study Center.

Over the coming months, the museum will explore the many ways artists, curators, and visitors connect with nature, place, and one another. Expect to find examples on view that touch on the balance and kinship between environments and their communities. During the spring semester, our display of collection objects will shift slightly to deepen conversations around themes of home, family, and everyday life, while continuing to invite reflection on the natural world.

From its founding collections of nineteenth and twentieth century American and European paintings, the museum’s holdings have grown to 4,000+ art objects. The collection now spans a wide variety of approaches to form and content, created by a diverse group of regional, national, and international artists who have helped propel visual culture from the eighteenth century to the present.

Organized by the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art. Funding for this exhibition is provided by the Samuel H. and Patricia W. Smith Endowment, the Holland Orton Endowment, and friends of the museum.
