[2][6] The Noyes Museum served as a cultural center within Atlantic County; in addition to its art collection, it also hosted concerts, educational classes, and events.

The museum began to run into budgetary problems from its heating and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, which became increasingly inefficient with time.

The downward slope towards the lake the museum was built on made maintaining a consistent temperature across the entire building difficult.

[10] Executive Director Michael Cagno called it "a beautiful location but it was in the middle of nowhere"[1] and that the business case for repairing the structure was not good.

[11] In December 2017, Stockton University took control over the final remaining assets of the Noyes Foundation, including ownership of the Oceanville property.

[12] The Noyes Museum still exists, however, and its collection currently rotates between three sites where it is displayed: the Seaview golf club in Galloway (albeit a different location within Galloway Township than the original), the Arts Garage in Atlantic City, the Noyes Gallery at The Claridge Hotel in Atlantic City, and at Stockton's Kramer Hall in Hammonton.

The building was redeveloped by Atlantic City's Casino Reinvestment Development Authority (CRDA) which leases the site to Noyes at no cost.

The Arts Garage includes space for independent artists to set up shop and sell their own wares, although the mall section has had trouble attracting enough foot traffic to keep the stores solvent.
