Jenny Moore

Jenny Moore is the inaugural Director of Tinworks Art in Bozeman. From 2013 to 2022, she was Director of the Chinati Foundation in Marfa, Texas. Under her Directorship, Chinati completed Robert Irwin’s monumental permanent installation Untitled (dawn to dusk), organized and made public its institutional archive, and completed restoration of the John Chamberlain Building. She has championed the work of female artists, scholars, and professionals, including Charlotte Posenenske, Bridget Riley, and Solange and received a $1.25M grant from #StartSmall to provide professional development opportunities for women, and particularly women of color, in far west Texas and the broader arts community. Moore held curatorial positions at the New Museum (NYC), the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts (NYC), Exit Art (NYC) and the 8th Gwangju Biennale (South Korea). She received an M.A. from the Center for Curatorial Studies, Bard College, NY, and a B.A., cum laude, in cultural anthropology from Wake Forest University, NC.
