MDA Art Collection exhibits are initiated by MDA or the host location. All exhibits are underwritten by the participating facility or by corporate/individual sponsors.

Exhibits typically consist of 20 to 40 works and vary in duration from about four to eight weeks. The curator selects the works to be shown at each individual venue. Some exhibits emphasize range and diversity while others have a specific focus (e.g., landscapes, self-portraits, etc.).

Selected art from the Collection has been exhibited at the Dallas Museum of Art; Cork Gallery at Lincoln Center and The Forbes Collection in New York; Tucson Museum of Art; Bishop Museum in Honolulu; Chicago Public Library, Harold Washington Library Center; Fort Lauderdale Museum of Art; Los Angeles Children's Museum; JFK Center at Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.; Philbrook Museum, Tulsa, Okla; Capital Children's Museum, Washington, D.C.; and the Henry Ford Centennial Library in Dearborn, Mich.

To date, the MDA Art Collection has been viewed by more than 3 million people nationwide.

We've had selections from the MDA Art Collection exhibited at more than 80 locations nationwide since 1992. We're constantly looking for new venues — museums, galleries, airports or corporate headquarters — and, if you know of any, we'd appreciate hearing about them. (Most exhibits are underwritten by the participating facility or corporate/individual sponsors.) Please contact communityprograms@mdausa.org.
