Tanya Kaiser is a Cleveland-based interdisciplinary artist, curator, and arts advocate whose practice blends ceramics, sculpture, and installation with conceptual investigations of language, memory, and cultural identity. Her work examines the fragility of communication and the intersections between personal narrative and political discourse, creating immersive environments that invite both reflection and dialogue.

Kaiser holds an MFA in Studio Art from Stony Brook University, where she concentrated on ceramic sculpture, and has exhibited nationally in traditional gallery settings as well as public art platforms. Recent exhibitions include Crafted Couture at Valley Art Center and the Ohio Artist Registry 2025 Juried Exhibition at the Columbus Metropolitan Library. She has also presented work at large-scale cultural events such as IngenuityFest, extending her practice into community-centered, interactive installations.

In addition to her studio work, Kaiser is the Founder of Kaiser Studios, a nonprofit arts organization dedicated to fostering collaboration between artists and STEM professionals. Through its flagship program, Renaissance Box, she curates artist talks and interdisciplinary residencies that encourage participants to cross disciplinary boundaries and engage with complex social and cultural issues.

Her curatorial and leadership experience includes serving as Director & Curator of Kaiser Gallery, Assistant Director of Summer on the Cuyahoga, and her current position on the board of the Collect Art Network Journal. Committed to amplifying underrepresented voices, she creates platforms that connect local and global creative communities.

Recognized for her conceptual rigor, tactile sensibility, and ability to catalyze conversation, Kaiser continues to pursue projects that blur the lines between art and activism, offering thought-provoking and immersive experiences to diverse audiences.
