Meet Our Curator

Áine Mickey is a contemporary curator and arts administrator with over a decade of experience developing complex curatorial projects and community-centered initiatives. She brings a distinct curatorial vision to the creation of impactful exhibitions and public programs, producing thought-provoking exhibits, supporting artists, and engaging diverse audiences through collaboration and interdisciplinary partnership.

Mickey has organized exhibitions and programming for Grounds For Sculpture, BSB Gallery, Boys & Girls Club of America, Artworks Trenton, the Arts Council of Princeton, and the SAGE Coalition, among others.

Holding a BS in Economics, Mickey applies a data-informed and strategic approach to arts administration, planning, and community growth. Her academic background shapes her curatorial methodology, where she occasionally weaves academic concepts into exhibition narratives, translating complex or inaccessible ideas into tangible, spatial experiences.

Dedicated to strengthening the communities she serves, Mickey works to position artists as competitive participants in the broader arts landscape. Through invitational and open call exhibits, workshops, and professional development initiatives, she challenges and supports artists in expanding both their creative and professional practices.
