Tya Alisa Anthony (b. 1978) is an interdisciplinary artist and independent curator based in Denver, Colorado. Her work delves into themes of domestic resilience, social justice, human rights, and identity, utilizing sculptural painting, photography, and collage to refocus the narratives of people of color. By highlighting the social, economic, and natural environments of her subjects, Anthony reimagines historical narratives, creating autonomous spaces for bodies of color and using core memories as a form of catharsis.

Anthony earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree with summa cum laude honors from Rocky Mountain College of Art + Design. Alongside her artistic endeavors, she serves as the Director of Education & Community at RedLine Contemporary Art Center, is the founder of Mahogany Vū Contemporary Virtual Gallery, and edits Contemporary Thought Magazine, Living Culture: A Mahogany Vū for BIPOC artists of the Diaspora.

Her influence in the art world extends beyond her personal work. She contributes as a journalist to Hyperallergic Magazine, is a TANK Studios alum artist, a RedLine Artist in Residence alum, and an advisory board member for Leon Gallery and the Colorado Photographic Arts Center. She also formerly served on the Board of Tilt West. Anthony’s art has been exhibited nationally and is part of permanent collections at the Denver Art Museum, Museum of Contemporary Art, Center for Visual Arts, LEON Gallery, and RedLine Contemporary Art Center.
