About Tya Alisa Anthony

As Director of Education & Community at RedLine Contemporary Art Center, I bring over 20 years of experience leading strategic education and community engagement initiatives. My work focuses on arts administration, healing-centered education, and program strategy to serve youth, artists, and adults in recovery. I oversee a multi-program ecosystem that integrates mentorship, exhibition activation, and community studio initiatives while designing data-driven frameworks to measure social-emotional impact. My career reflects a commitment to equity-centered leadership, creative strategy, and cross-sector partnerships. From founding Mahogany Vu Contemporary to advancing global healing narratives at Brown and Healthy, I have consistently aligned art with community impact. At RedLine, I continue to develop sustainable programming that fosters confidence, belonging, and transformation through the arts.
