In her artwork, curatorial projects and public art organization, she strives to facilitate spontaneity and to help propel public appreciation of contemporary art practices. Kate's 20-year program experience with Boston arts and design organizations culminated in the development of the Greenway's public art strategy in 2011 and in 2014-2015, the ArtLAB, an outdoor laboratory for experimental public art at the Lawn on D.
