The Schnitzers have provided financial support for important acquisitions, exhibitions, and capital campaigns; donated their Chinese Han Dynasty collection and other works to the Museum\u2019s collection; and made significant investments in furthering the scholarship of the curatorial team through endowments of Northwest and Asian art, whose curatorial positions are named in their honor. Arlene Schnitzer also established an endowment for early Chinese art and an endowment for special exhibitions. The Schnitzers\u2019 vision and generosity led to the creation of the Museum\u2019s Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Center for Northwest Art, celebrating the creative vitality of the region. The spacious Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Sculpture Court in the Museum\u2019s main building will continue to be a key area of art connection in the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/portlandartmuseum.org\/blog\/directorship-endowment\/\">Museum\u2019s transformed campus, opening November 20<\/a>, which the Schnitzers played a major role in bringing to reality with historic leadership gifts to the Connection Campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recognition of their incredible commitment and contributions, in 2007, Harold and Arlene Schnitzer were named the first-ever Life Trustees of the Museum. In 2014, the Museum showcased Arlene and Harold\u2019s distinguished collection with the exhibition and publication&nbsp;<em>In Passionate Pursuit: The Harold and Arlene Schnitzer Collection and Legacy<\/em>.
