Gabrielle Lavin Suzenski

Since her appointment as Rochelle F. Levy Director in 2017, Suzenski has grown The Galleries' reputation as a hub for collaboration where creating new and robust experiences + programs that better engage diverse Philadelphia communities is top priority. Through a highly interdisciplinary approach, her programmatic vision merges an appreciation for traditional forms of art, architecture & design with new modes of interaction + technology to provide meaningful and participatory experiences for the public. Suzenski is creative lead for Moore's Campus Transformation strategy, an initiative that places collaborative use front and center through the realization of innovative interior + exterior design projects.

Suzenski began her professional career in the Fabric Workshop and Museum's post-college apprenticeship program in 2004, which led to a full time position working with the founder/artistic director in coordinating the museum's relocation in 2006. She joined The Galleries at Moore in 2008 and helped to organize major exhibitions including Alice Neel: Drawing from Life, Bicycle: People + Ideas in Motion, Philagrafika 2010: The Graphic Unconscious; and Pretty Vacant: The Graphic Language of Punk, among others. She has curated numerous exhibitions including Visionary Women: Janet Biggs & Joyce J. Scott (2022); Tristin Lowe: Black Holes & Rabbit Holes (2021); Emerging Philadelphia: Shona McAndrew, Matt Osborn, and Stacey Lee Webber (2020); Kara Springer: Ten Days Before Freedom (2018); and RAIR: Filthy Rich, Projects Made Possible by the Waste Stream (2017), among others.
