Among several museum associations over nearly 30 years, Garver served as founding director of what is now California's Orange County Museum of Art and later was director 1980-1987 of what is now the Madison Museum of Contemporary Art. He subsequently organized art exhibitions for several museums and companies, including building the art collection of the former Rayovac Corporation. Following Link's death, Garver became the organizing curator of the O. Winston Link Museum in Roanoke, Va., which opened in 2004 in Roanoke's former N&W passenger station.
Garver was also a noted author, first of a 1985 monograph about the American figurative artist George Tooker, and later of a definitive work on Link, The Last Steam Railroad in North America, published in 1995 by Harry N. Abrams, Inc.
Beyond his work in the art world, Garver volunteered at Madison's Second Harvest food bank and Agrace Hospice, was active in the First Unitarian Society of Madison, served on the city of Madison's Alcohol License Review Committee, and was a board member for Wright in Wisconsin, an organization promoting the legacy of architect Frank Lloyd Wright.
