From 1986 through 2003, she was an active member of the arts community in Boston, where she headed arts programming at United South End Settlements and served on various boards, such as the Underground Railway Theater and Massachusetts Association for the Arts, Sciences and Humanities. She was appointed to the Boston Cultural Council by the Mayor of Boston, Thomas M. Menino, and served in that capacity for six years. In 2002, with a group of local artists, Guadulesa founded the Boston Metropolitan Arts Guild and opened Gallery G. Her work is included in the collection of the Black Indian Inn in Dorchester, MA.
