[13] Hank Baum states in the California Art Review, "Director Jan Rindfleisch presents exhibits that address philosophical and social issues, challenge taboos, and allow artists to be resurrected who have been obscured by the prejudice of their day.
She prefers the term "forum show" and has turned the gallery into an arena, staging confrontations instead of merely installing pieces in passive proximity to each other.
"[18] Notable artists Rindfleisch has exhibited and written about, many early in their careers, include Marjorie Eaton, Mildred Howard, Agnes Pelton,[19] Ruth Tunstall Grant,[20] Mary Parks Washington, Connie Young Yu, Juana Alicia, Jean LaMarr, Paul Pei-Jen Hau, Flo Oy Wong, Consuelo Jimenez Underwood, and the Muwekma Ohlone people.
[21][22][23] Rindfleisch's participation in the role of securing Agnes Pelton's legacy is documented in the Phoenix Art Museum's 2019–2021 traveling exhibition and companion monograph.
As Euphrat Museum of Art's executive director from 1979–2011, she rescued, developed and expanded the organization after Proposition 13 cut its sole funding in 1978.
[32]It continued, She formed an energetic partnership between De Anza College, the museum and the community, and developed the award-winning Euphrat Arts & Schools Program that provides more than 30,000 student instruction hours annually.
[35][36] Rindfleisch's archives are held in part at the Martin Luther King Jr. Library at San Jose State University.
