Career
From 1962 to 1977, Moore served as curator of the Pasadena Arts Museum (now the Norton Simon Museum), located in Pasadena, California.[1] She has been credited with turning the Pasadena Art Museum's annual California Design show into a "blockbuster juried triennial".[2]
Moore was crafts coordinator for the National Endowment for the Arts from 1978 to 1981.[3]
Quotes
"The social as well as the physical climate of California in the 20th century has presented the ideal breeding ground for the new, and more broadly based wave of humane declaration, which we call the New Craftman's Movement. With remnants of the do-it-yourself need of the frontier spirit still intact, and with the sense of individual worth and identity from that experience still within memory, there was little in subjugation or established pattern to overcome. Self-expression was in many ways the base of the culture."[3]
