Kate Conroy (she/they) is a curator, director, and artist whose curatorial roots as a gallerist lead her career into multi-arts center administration. After earning an M.A. in Arts Politics from Tisch School of the Arts, Conroy shifted to exploring identity boundaries and permissions in inter-disciplinary arts production of and for lesbian, other queer women, trans and non-binary artists. Conroy's ongoing LESBEING series with Prof. B. Giles and its complementary Lesbian Culture series of petrie dish portraits of artists blends curation, visual arts, and performance. Conroy founded and curates Venus Biennale, a performance, literary, and visual arts festival. She has co-developed and performed with Kay Turner at SOHO20's Brooklyn gallery space, directed Babs Davy in her 2017 solo show, installed diverse visual culture exhibitions, and created public art actions in NYC's East Village.
