Anthony Vega is a visual artist, educator, curator and musician in the Philadelphia area. Originally from the rural town of Green Creek, New Jersey he has spent the last ten years pursuing his artistic career. His undergraduate work was completed at Saint Joseph's University where he studied fine art, music and philosophy. Anthony received his Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Delaware.

He is currently the director of the University of Delaware Philadelphia gallery, UD@Crane in the Crane Arts building, and adjunct faculty at the University of Delaware. He exhibits his work in galleries, museums and other venues regionally and nationally.

Anthony's current practice rests on his fascination of language, meaning and image. These interests are explored through the use of web based images, color and layering, but specifically through the exploration of how interpretations and connections are made both personally and socially.
