Some Things I CURATED, I designed, or i HELP PRODUCED
Design Director,
Art Fair 14C
Art Fair 14C is a non profit (501c3) mission based, international art fair with a goal to strengthen & support art in New Jersey. In our 2nd edition, we exhibited over 300+ artists and galleries, and had 3000+ attendees. I have been with the fair since its inception, and wear quite a few hats but focus on design of the event and infrastructure, and in tandem designing the visual identity through graphic and printed matter. I have also worked in exhibitor relations, sponsor correspondence, grant writing, & I am involved in the general development of the fair. Want to know more? Check out this beautiful website!
Curator & Grant Specialist:
Apple Tree House
I am the curator & grant writer the The Apple Tree House, managed by Office of Cultural Affairs. I coordinate all free, public events, including scholarly lectures, archival exhibitions & cultural events. I manage a long term project to develop a museum-going experience based on oral histories & curate acquisitions of historical furniture & material culture (and my curatorial work was featured in the NYTimes!)
HQ Coordinator & Curator, Jersey City Art & Studio Tour
I was the lead coordinator and part of a three person curation team to bring to life a 16,000 sq ft. industrial space for the headquarters of JCAST, Jersey City's annual Art & Studio Tour which attracts over 30,000 people a year.
