Moss has contributed to curatorial and research projects including Conceptual Olympiad (Château de Montsoreau, executive assistant), Second Time Around (Jamestown Arts Center, student curator + curatorial assistant), and Guerrilla Girls in Our Midst: 1984-1987 (Reacting to the Past, research fellow). She is the producer of the podcast Fuming: The Environmental Impact of Art and a contributing writer for AWARE (Archives of Woman Artists Research and Education). She recently served as Summer Arts Camp Director at the Jamestown Arts Center.
