To Casey, knitting is the perfect example of what we can all do to let self expression and experimentation into our lives.

She has founded projects like SIX x ATE and CSAPGH, curated the 2014 Pittsburgh Biennial at CMU, and worked to build a stronger arts community in Pittsburgh. All of her projects, including these examples, focus on creating an accessible art experience that is relevant to a national/international contemporary art conversation.
