“Day in the Life” by Tya Alisa Anthony—interdisciplinary artist, educator, curator, and community advocate based in Denver:

🕰️ Morning Routine

• 6:30 AM – Wake & Centering
  She likely starts with mindfulness or journaling—grounding herself before diving into her work as she balances personal practice and community responsibilities  .

• 7:30 AM – Studio Prep
  Arrives at her RedLine Contemporary Art Center studio. Begins assembling mixed media—sorting archival photos, botanical clippings, and paint for her collage/Tarot pieces  .

🎨 Midday: Studio & Practice

• 10:00 AM – Artmaking Session
  Deep in process: layering images, painting details in gold, developing the next collage from her Rooted Shadows Tarot or Organic Tarot series  .

• 12:30 PM – Community Engagement
  Leads or plans an outreach program—workshops or educational series at RedLine—helping others explore identity through visual art  .

☕ Afternoon: Collaboration & Curation

• 2:00 PM – Curatorial Planning / Meetings
  Co-ordinates gallery exhibitions, mentors emerging artists, and collaborates on events—perhaps preparing for shows like Threaded or Descansa En El Poder  .

• 3:30 PM – Research & Reflection
  Spends time reviewing archives—historical images, legal documents, botanical symbolism—to feed into her socially-aware work on race, equity, and ancestry  .

🌆 Evening: Outreach & Reflection

• 5:30 PM – Public Art/Performance
  Could be hosting a workshop (like collage-making in Lafayette), attending community events, or presenting artist talks (e.g. CU Boulder) .

• 7:00 PM – Documentation & Writing
  Updates her website journal, writes for Hyperallergic or Contemporary Thought Magazine, documents events, and archives progress.

• 8:30 PM – Wind‑Down
  Unwinds with family, reads, does botanical walks or personal visual reflections—recharging ideas for the next day.

🎯 What Makes It Unique

• Multidisciplinary Flow – Visits between visual artmaking, curation, education, and community empowerment.

• Rooted in Ritual & Archives – Combines research into history, archival photography, family narratives, and botanical symbolism to create culturally resonant works  .

• Community at Core – Her roles (Director of Education & Community at RedLine, founder of Mahogany Vū) show a strong dedication to empowering BIPOC artists and fostering dialogue  .

🌟 Want to Do This Challenge?

Feel free to model your day around my approach:

• Morning: creative grounding + conceptual planning

• Midday: active artmaking

• Afternoon: community work, curatorial or collaborative tasks

• Evening: documentation, outreach, reflection

You can share your own routine, what rituals you create, what archives or imagery you explore, and how you connect your art to community and identity.

Happy to help you structure or reflect on your experience—just let me know!
