The paintings and drawings of Marshall Arisman have been widely exhibited both internationally and nationally, and his work may be seen in the permanent collections of the Brooklyn Museum, and the National Museum of American Art, Smithsonian Institution, as well as in many private and corporate collections.

His original graphic essay Heaven Departed, in which paintings and drawings describe the emotional and spiritual impact of nuclear was on society, was published in book form by Vision Publishers (Tokyo, 1988).

Chairman of the M.F.A. degree program at the School of Visual Arts in New York, Arisman was the first American invited to exhibit in mainland China. His series, Sacred Monkeys, appeared at the Guang Dong Museum of Art in April 1999.

He is the subject of a full-length documentary film directed by Tony Silver titled "Facing the Audience, The Arts of Marshall Arisman." The film will be shown at the 2002 Santa Barbara Film Festival.
