In 2020 a textile exhibition at Two Temple Place included work collected by Poovaya-Smith.
In 2020 she became one of the Deputy lieutenants of West Yorkshire.
Poovaya-Smith was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the 2016 Birthday Honours for services to Arts and Museums in Yorkshire.
Poovaya-Smith developed the Transcultural Galleries at Cartwright Hall, which in 2008 became the Connect galleries. Her aim was to attract South Asian people to the galleries. She described the Transcultural Galleries as "the first non-colonial exhibition of its kind in the country". She held the post at Cartwright Hall until 1998, and developed "one of the most significant collections of contemporary art in the UK by artists from south Asian, African and Caribbean heritages". Exhibitions included one on calligraphy, Speaking Art, and another on Sikh art and culture, Warm, Rich and Fearless (1991). The displays were noted for their difference from traditional museum formats: "thematic, non-hierarchical, non-linear".

At that time she was one of very few Black and Minority Ethnic people working in museums in the UK. She has said that "if these works [by Black and Asian artists] are not captured in public collections then there’s going to be a huge distortion of history".
Poovaya-Smith was born in Coorg in Karnataka and was educated in Belgaum. Her father worked in the silk industry and her mother was artistic. Poovaya-Smith studied for a PhD in English Literature at the University of Mysore. Poovaya-Smith came to Britain in 1981 to study at the University of Leeds.
