From 2006-2009, I was the managing curator for MetroTexural: Art Quilts from the Manhattan Quilters Guild. See the Quiltart web site for images of these quilts.

In 2006, I juried and curated Surface Tension, an exhibition of studio quilts, which has its own archival page in this site.

Along with co-juror Maxine Farkas, I juried Quilt 21: American Art Quilts for the 21st Century in 2000. Forty-two pieces were chosen, by forty-three artists from twenty-one states. This exhibition traveled for two years, 2001-2002. Copies of the full-color catalogue may still be available. Please contact me for information.

Among the online exhibitions juried by me was the Nevada Art Quilt Competition, featured on the Quiltart web site in 2000.

My first foray into jurying and curating a studio quilt exhibition was the original Fine Focus national competition in 1998. These fifty small-format works toured the country until 2001. Each piece was sewn onto canvas mounted on 18-in.-square stretchers. The images from this exhibition have been archived online at www.quiltart.com/ff/. (Forty percent of the quilts were sold during the tour.)

In 1998 I curated an exhibition of photography for The Urban Center (NYC) entitled Walking the Waterway: Scenes along the Old Croton Aqueduct Trailway.

From 1986 until 1994, I was a curator at The Hispanic Society of America (NYC), where I organized several major exhibitions of materials from special collections.
