In 2018 she organised VERGE endangered species art exhibition and environmental talks in Knysna, and in 2012 the (eco)nversations art exhibition at the Green Expo in Cape Town. For Spring and Summer of 2023 Janet opened and managed Ethos gallery with Ashleigh de Villiers at Timberlake Organic Village, Wilderness, South Africa.
