The museum presents a rotating program of contemporary art exhibitions featuring works by regional and international artists, alongside educational initiatives including artist talks, panel discussions, workshops, and the ongoing Night School series of evening lectures.

The museum is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Mondays and Wednesdays through Sundays, opening later at 12:00 PM on Fridays, and is closed on Tuesdays, with free admission for all visitors who register in advance.
