After her passing in 1952, memorial exhibitions celebrated her work at prestigious institutions such as the Museum of the City of New York, the Butler Institute of American Art, and the Georgia Art Museum.

In 2008, another significant solo exhibition curated by Judith Kafka Maxwell showcased Brewster's life and works in the context of late Victorian and early twentieth-century women artists.
