Katie also enjoys curating and has an unusual talent for conceiving, coordinating and collaborating ridiculously enjoyable and absurdly social events. In 2011 Katie conceived of Great Than Once Artist Salon, where she invited people to work with her on creating a bi-monthly salon. By creating a platform for friends, current grads and MICA Alums to talk about their work in an unconventional way and in an unconventional salon environment Katie, spearheaded an event that would serve to unify the greater MICA community. In 2010 she curated Dance Floor Assembly, which was a re-mount of an event she previously co-conceived with Julia Burton, Director of Park Gallery in Toronto, CAN. In Dance Floor Assembly (2010), the artists in the show contributed playlists and every day at a different time people would converge in the gallery to dance for twenty minutes to an artist?s playlist. Another element of the show, involved her collaborating with Joshua Smith, a Baltimore based artist to reinterpret Richard Long?s, ?A Line Made By Walking?, the result of their collaboration produced the dance floor for the event. Previously she completed a curatorial internship at the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery, curated a series of performance art events, salons and artist talks in Toronto, CAN.
