Additionally, she served as a visiting lecturer at the Rhode Island School of Design in 2013.[8] In October 2017, Farmiga was appointed to the position of Assistant Dean at Cooper Union School of Art.[2]

Farmiga has displayed her artwork at many solo exhibitions, including objects (2001) in New Orleans,[9] 'Scape (2006) in Miami,[10] and Versus (2012) in New York.[11] In 2004, Farmiga was among a group of artists displaying their work in the exhibition The Reality of Things at Triple Candie in Harlem.[12] In 2008, she received the Emerging Artist Fellowship from Socrates Sculpture Park.[13]

In December 2016, Farmiga's work as part of CIM began showing at the Ukrainian Museum, where it was exhibited until September 2017.[17] From January to February 2017, her work as part of Abandoned Luncheonette was exhibited at the Jeff Bailey Gallery in Hudson, New York.[18] In April 2018, it was announced that Farmiga was one of twelve visual artists whom had been granted a summer fellowship at the MacDowell Colony.[19]

gollark: Wait, no, that would be fine actually, I can make that do things.
gollark: Doesn't make sense. Imagine if someone made a contract thing for your fractional krist somehow; you paid it 1KST and got 100cKST out. How do the fees work?
gollark: I'm not sure how to usefully implement a fee without breaking all things ever horribly.
gollark: I can impose memory/CPU limits per-"contract" but NOT easily stop people making 189621782638 evil contracts.
gollark: That is a problem I suppose, yes.
