Unrestricted Access was a special exhibition celebrating 50 years of SoHo20 Gallery promoting women artists.
SoHo20 is an artist-run, feminist gallery founded in 1973. Janet was a member of the Gallery from 1988-1994. During that time she had 3 solo shows that were instrumental in the development of her artistic practice. She helped the Gallery receive its 501c3 tax status which allowed Soho20 to apply for and receive grants from funding sources in NYC and NY State. These grants allowed Soho20 to host exhibitions for emerging, senior, and under-represented women artists; as well as significant social justice exhibitions. In 1989, Janet traveled to South Africa, to curate South African Mail: Messages from Inside with funds from the UN Special Committee Against Apartheid. The exhibition at SoHo20 presented 400 unique postcard sized works by over 200 South African women of all races and circumstances. The exhibition toured in the US for five years.
