Over the last decade Kenealy and her husband Richard (Dick) Whyte have curating the ongoing art collection The Wayfarer Gallery based in Wellington's Wayfarer Library, archiving Wellington experimental art. It currently own more than 200 works from artists such as Rick Jensen, GCR, Brent Willis, Tao Welles, Mark Whyte, Smiley, Sam Stephens (and many others). In 2004 they collaborated with others to open the 91 Aro St Gallery, another Wellington outlet for independent arts. 91 Aro St sold and exhibited comics, tapes, CDs, books, films, paintings, photographs, pictures, glass work from experimental artists in and around Wellington, New Zealand. It was open for twelve months while they held the lease on the premises and had more than 20 exhibitions. Kenealy also appeared in Elric Kane and Alexander Greenhough's 2004 independent feature film Murmurs, set in a bohemian Wellington subculture.
