About

The Warehouse Dallas Art Foundation (“The Warehouse”) is a jointly operated nonprofit art foundation in Dallas formed in 2024 by Howard Rachofsky and Thomas Hartland-Mackie. The foundation’s mission is to educate the public by creating exposure to new curatorial voices and exhibitions that prioritize experimentation and exploration, and to provide free educational programming and public open hours. This new charitable foundation firmly establishes a legacy for Howard and Cindy Rachofsky’s long-standing commitment to educating the public through providing access to their art collection. The addition of Thomas Hartland-Mackie, a leader of the next generation of prolific art collectors, creates a dynamic, multi-generational partnership that ensures the educational mission of the foundation will continue for posterity.

 

Exhibitions at The Warehouse have been an integral part of Dallas’s artistic landscape since 2012, when Cindy and Howard Rachofsky and the late Vernon E. Faulconer began sharing their collections with the public. All exhibitions and programs are free and open to the public.

 

The Warehouse Dallas Art Foundation is applying to the IRS to be recognized as a private operating foundation to carry forward the work begun by The Warehouse in the more formal structure of a charitable organization, staging exhibitions and devoted exclusively to the public, education, and the arts.

Exhibitions

The Warehouse has staged annual exhibitions curated by an ever-changing roster of internationally admired curators, including Gavin Delahunty, Independent Curator; Lisa LeFeuvre, Inaugural Executive Director of Holt/Smithson Foundation; Leigh Arnold, Curator, Nasher Sculpture Center; Thomas Feulmer, Curator, The Rachofsky Collection; Mika Yoshitake, Independent Curator; Rodrigo Moura, former Chief Curator, El Museo del Barrio (as of March 2025, Artistic Director at Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires [MALBA]); and Allan Schwartzman, Founding Director, The Warehouse and The Rachofsky Collection.

The Warehouse’s changing exhibitions have been developed specifically to suggest new perspectives on art and invite fresh questions that challenge and expand accepted narratives of history.
