Presently, the Cultural Programs Division is sponsoring five major exhibition initiatives. These initiatives include exhibitions of the work of Mark Rothko, a leading Abstract Expressionist painter; Landmarks of New York, a photography exhibition of New York City landmark buildings; US Express, a video art exhibition, and American Roadside Architecture, a photography exhibition focusing on the early architecture of America's motoring past.

The Cultural Programs Division also produces occasional poster series on selected topics in the arts or outstanding artistic personalities. Recent series have included Duke Ellington Remembered; Louis Armstrong: King of Jazz; Visual Power: 21st Century Native American Artists/Intellectuals; When the Spirit Moves: A History of African American Dance; All Americans: Images of Heritage of Citizenship; and Through Artists' Eyes: The American Space Program. These poster series are produced for use by U.S. Embassies around the world. Translated into major world languages, they are distributed to libraries, schools, performing arts centers, American Corners and Informational Resource Centers at US Missions.
