About

 New York-based curator and arts planner Jennifer McGregor brings deep expertise in the areas of art, ecology, gardens, public engagement and placemaking. Visionary thinking combined with a realistic approach is key to planning projects that engage communities, diverse sites and multiple art forms. Through McGregor Consulting, she collaborates with a range of clients to plan, curate and implement artwork in the public realm.  She writes and speaks regularly about public and environmental art.

From 1999 to 2020, she conceived place-based arts programming at Wave Hill, a world-renowned public garden and cultural center in the Bronx. She activated connections to the environment by producing adventurous exhibitions, performances and a residency program that explore nature, culture and site.

She founded McGregor Consulting in 1990 as a platform to engage non-traditional public spaces, diverse audiences, and amazing artists through commissions, forums, reports and exhibitions. Clients and collaborators include non-profits, museums, park advocacy groups, government agencies, and architects and landscape architects.

She established her expertise in public realm as the first director of New York City’s Percent for Art Program from 1983 to 1990, where she wrote the operating guidelines and initiated the first sixty projects.

McGregor Consulting maintains general and professional liability policies and is a MWBE certified business with the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey.
