For the past several years, Penn-Goetsch has served as curator of “Fluidity of Gender,” an exhibition of sculptures by feminist artist Linda Stein, which  was exhibited in the Peter Paul Luce Gallery at Cornell College  in September 2010. The show has since traveled to more than 20 venues and is now on display in Austin.  Work from the show and references to it appear in Women’s Art Journal, spring/summer 2013, and Surface Design, summer 2013.
