Over the course of a forty-six year career at the Gallery, Ron curated a number of watershed exhibitions including Lillian Budd: The Voice of Silence (1997), Ross T Smith: Hokianga (1998), Terry Urbahn: The Karaokes (1998), John Ioane: Fale Sā (1999), Pat Hanly: Pure Painting (2000), John Pule: People Get Ready (2000–01), Marti Friedlander Photographs (2001), Gretchen Albrecht: Illuminations (2002), Sugimoto Portraits (2002), Fatu Feu‘u: O le Tautai Samoa(2002–03), Colin McCahon: A Question of Faith (2003), John Kinder’s New Zealand (2004), Home AKL: Artists of Pacific Heritage in Auckland (2012, Robert Ellis: Turangawaewae, A Place to Stand (2014–15), ANZAC: Photographs by Laurence Aberhart (2015), Malcolm Ross, Fiona Clark, Grant Lingard: Looking at Men (2021–22), Max Oettli: Visible Evidence – Photographs 1965–1975 (2021–22).
