From 2010-2020, Naomi Nussbaum Art & Design was retained by the San Diego Botanic Garden to pioneer a new project entitled Sculpture in the Gardens.  A Call to Artists was authored and disseminated regionally each year.  On average, almost two hundred submissions were received.   Up to 80 sculpture per exhibition were selected of which approximately 15-20% were sold during the course of the exhibition.  This project increased membership dramatically during this ten year period.

​

This project provided a fantastic opportunity for both seasoned and emerging sculptors to display their work in a magnificent venue.      

​

“The quality and diversity of the annual sculpture displays improves each year. The program has grown because artists love having this beautiful setting for their work. Also, with over 60 works on display our visitors have a whole other level of enjoyment from their experience in the Garden,” said Julian Duval, ex-CEO of San Diego Botanic Garden.

​

The Oceanside Museum of Art Artists' Alliance retained Naomi Nussbaum Art & Design to curate an exhibition entitled Botanica  which was appropriately exhibited at the San Diego Botanic Garden's Ecke Building.  ​

​

The Leichtag Foundation retained my services to curate and oversee an exhibition by a Holocaust survivor, Ruth Platner,  This exhibition was scheduled to align with the Day of Remembrance.  

​

One of a Kind Gallery retained my services to curate and manage a pop-up exhibition which included the artworks of six local artists.  It was a great success with five pieces sold.
