"ARTIST ORGANIZED ART (WWW.ARTISTORGANIZEDART.ORG) In 2003, Joshua Selman started this website, which grew into a nonprofit organization. The group supports and coordinates artist-organized events and interventions, continuing the legacy of the International Artists’ Museum that Emmett Williams and Ryszard Wasko founded in Poland in 1990. The members of AOA have traveled all over, including Israel and Cardiff, to help create spaces in which art can occur. I like it because it functions outside the commercial art market and benefits artists rather than curators and institutions." - Allison Knowles on Artist Organized Art from Art Forum Magazine, Top Ten, September 2007.

Glazier is also the former Curator and Manager of d.Art Gallery in Easthampton MA, Art Director for USED Records www.usedrecordlabel.com of Montague MA, and independent art curator and art activist.
