I’ve worked with artists, entrepreneurs, producers and other creative souls, helping them build out their ideas and get them connected to the resources they need to grow and flourish. With decades of experience in a variety of creative fields, I’ve provided services ranging from writing and editing to team building and producing. I’m most interested in consulting with artists and other creatives to help them communicate effectively about their work and navigate collaborative relationships.
My formal training is in music and theatre, but I’ve also been a DJ, filmmaker, writer, editor, event producer, and art curator. I still play the flute. I’ve curated and performed at KGB Bar, Animamus Art Salon, Shag, Green Oasis Community Garden, Chinatown Soup, The Red Room at KGB, UNDER St. Marks Theater, JCC Harlem, The Yard: Williamsburg Bridge, The Yard: Lincoln Square, L’Space Gallery, and Station NY. I have written numerous online articles and interviews, edited museum catalogs, edited and written introductions for several books, and my essay was featured in the award winning anthology, We Got This — Solo Mom Stories of Grit, Heart, and Humor.
I was the Gallery Manager at C24 Gallery in Chelsea, NYC for six years, and I’m now the Curatorial and Artist Relations Director for ARTMoney Society. My personal projects range from curated art exhibitions and associated programming to musical and interdisciplinary collaborations that foster community building, healing, and the preservation of cultural legacies.

I take on new projects selectively. Feel free to contact me to discuss your ideas at projectmavensnyc@gmail.com.
