Anna Harsanyi is a curator, educator, and arts manager. She is dedicated to presenting art in a non-art context and creating sites that invite participation from audiences outside of the art community.

She has organized projects presenting artist engagements within the historic Essex Street Market in New York's Lower East Side; developed cross-cultural projects about friendship and dreams in Saint Petersburg, Russia and Seoul, South Korea, respectively; commissioned projects exploring the often hidden or dormant histories for The New School Centennial; and collaborated with Sheetal Prajapati on a series of events centered around play. In 2014, she co-curated with Roxana Bedrule Hot & Cold: Revolution in the Present Tense, a public art project in Timișoara and Cluj, Romania which presented three artist projects responding to the 25th anniversary of the Revolution that ended Communism.

Anna has worked in education and public engagement roles at the Art Encounters Biennial, Museum of Modern Art, New York Arts Practicum, A Blade of Grass, and the Guggenheim Social Practice initiative at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. She is Assistant Curator, Community Engagement at Creative Time, where she works on organizing CTHQ, a gathering space for art and politics.
