Minna Citron attended the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Science, the New York School of Applied Design for Women and Art Students League of New York between1928–1935. In 1930, she had her first exhibition at the New School for Social Research. In 1934, she relocated to Union, New York became acquainted with other artists there. Citron often drew her subject matter from her urban surroundings, depicting the people and places of Union Station in an urban realist style.

In 1935, Citron had her first major critically acclaimed solo show titled "Feminanities," at the Midtown Gallery in New York City. The work in this show addressed issues of gender and sexism in a satirical light. In the early 1940s, Citron's work shifted towards a more abstract style.

She joined Atelier 17, a renowned printmaking school and studio and began experimenting with new styles and innovative techniques. A 1960 solo exhibit in Zagreb was the first time an American artist had mounted such a show in Yugoslavia.
