In 1998 Wolovick collaborated with sculptor Charles Long on three digital print editions (produced by MuseX Editions, Los Angeles, CA). The first edition, "The Internalized Page Project, vol. 1," is held in the Harvard Fogg Art Museum, Cambridge, MA, the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA, and the NY Public Library, Print Collection, New York, NY. The piece was also included in PS1's 2000 "Greater New York" (Wolovick is uncredited) and a 1999 exhibition at Bonakdar-Jancou Gallery (Wolovick is uncredited), which was favorably reviewed by Ken Johnson of the New York Times.

Ana has been an invited artist-in-residence at: "Altos de Chavon," La Romana, Dominican Republic (2002); Beta Local's inaugural "Walking Seminar" throughout Puerto Rico (2013); the "SOMA Summer Program" in Mexico City (2015); and with Culture-Vultures in Sefrou, Morocco (2017). She has been an invited critic at the RU Residency, the NARS Foundation, and Parsons Fine-Arts Program in New York City. She has exhibited at various venues in the US and Europe.

In 2015 Wolovick curated and hand-produced "PartA- PartB," a limited-edition box-set of reproductions from 33 emerging and established artists and writers. In October of the same year, she co-founded "Black Ball Projects" (BBP) as an artist-run commercial gallery; by the end of 2018, she had transformed the space into a 501(c)3 Nonprofit Arts Organization. Ana sits on Black Ball Projects' Board and is the Treasurer & Acting Secretary of the organization.
