Luckett has curated exhibitions by national and international artists such as Peju Alatise, Martha Jackson Jarvis, Amani Lewis, Thaddeus Mosley, Tajh Rust, Devan Shimoyama, Shikeith, and Stephen Towns. She recently served as an Art Commissioner for the City of Pittsburgh’s Art Commission for twelve years.  Luckett has held positions as curator of Facebook Pittsburgh’s Open Arts, consulting curator of Visual Arts at the August Wilson African American Cultural Center, director of development at The Andy Warhol Museum, and curatorial assistant at Wood Street Galleries, where she helped organize shows on Xu Bing, Louise Bourgeois, Larry Bell, Catherine Opie, Nam June Paik, and Tim Rollins + K.O.S. to name a few.

She is a contributing writer to the exhibition publication Halston & Warhol: Silver & Suede. Luckett is also writing an authorized biography on Naomi Sims, one of the first Black supermodels.
