Judy Cusick

Juror Bio:
Judy Cusick began her visual arts journey in college, later applying her skills in education and eventually in decorative arts for a local interior design company. Her career took a significant turn when she became the Program Director at the Appleton Art Center (AAC) during its early years on College Avenue.
At AAC, Judy became immersed in Art across all media and engaged with the artists who created them. In addition to collaborating to ensure museum-worthy exhibits, she led annual events like Art in the Park and the annual Secura exhibit.  
In retirement, Judy has focused on quilt making and other textile works, exhibiting pieces at the Wisconsin Museum of Quilts and Fiber Arts in Cedarburg, John Michael Koehler Art Center in Sheboygan, and Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts in Fond du Lac. She is currently co-curating the exhibit “Common Threads: Quilts of Fond du Lac County” for Thelma Sadoff Center for the Arts opening in January 2027.
