==Biography==
Schnitzer was born to Simon and Helen Director in Salem, Oregon on January 10, 1929.〔 Note: Oral history interview with Arlene Schnitzer, 1985 June 7–8, Archives of American Art, Smithsonian Institution.〕 She lived in Salem until age two, when her parents moved to Portland, Oregon. The family first lived in the Grant Park neighborhood. Schnitzer attended Fernwood Grammar School.〔 From fourth to seventh grade, she attended Laurelhurst Grammar School. Following another relocation, she attended Multnomah Grammar School, the school from which she graduated.〔 Schnitzer recalled "() up in a retail business"; her parents were the owners of Jenning Furniture Company, a large furniture store.〔
In 1949, Arlene met and married Harold Schnitzer (1923–2011), who worked at Schnitzer Steel Industries before founding Harsch Investment Properties in 1950.〔 The couple had one son, Jordan, in 1951.〔 Jordan later served as president of Harsch and on the boards of several arts organizations; he also became an art collector and is the namesake of the Jordan Schnitzer Museum of Art, located on the University of Oregon campus. Between 1993 and 2011, the couple donated more than $80 million, helping to establish institutions such as the Harold Schnitzer Diabetes Health Center (2007) at the Oregon Health & Science University and expand the Portland Art Museum. Expansions for the Portland Art Museum included the Center for Northwest Art and curatorial and awards program; their private collection of pre-Han and Han ceramics led to the creation of the Arlene and Harold Schnitzer Collection of Early Chinese Art and the endowed position, Curator of Asian Art.〔 Harold and Arlene also funded Jewish studies programs at the University of Oregon and Portland State University.〔 The couple also supported cultural institutions in the San Francisco Bay Area and Palm Springs, California, where they resided part-time.〔
In 2007, Arlene contributed $5,000 to the Portland Art Center. Harold Schnitzer died in 2011; he and Arlene were married for 62 years.〔〔 In 2013, in memory of her husband, Arlene donated $2.3 million to Portland State University for the construction of a three-story glass tower at Lincoln Hall. Both Arlene and Harold attended high school in Lincoln Hall.
