Tracey Langseth
Executive Director
Email: tracey@riverviews.org
Tracey Langseth is an arts leader with a career rooted in the arts, communications, and community engagement. At Riverviews Artspace, she leads with a simple conviction: contemporary art is essential—not as decoration or escape, but as a way we make sense of ourselves, each other, and the moment we're living in.
Her background includes managing a global social media team at J.Crew and directing the Maier Museum of Art at Randolph College. With early roots in digital art at Penn State, she brings both creative instinct and strategic vision to her work.
Beyond Riverviews, Tracey is a regular speaker on arts leadership and creative community, and serves as a Commissioner on Lynchburg's Historic Preservation Commission.
When she's not at the gallery, you'll likely find Tracey on the tennis court. She lives in Lynchburg with her husband Kyle, a former professional soccer player, their son Beckett, and their dogs Rapinoe and Moshi. She and Kyle are proud parents of four, including three young adults—Farrah, Ava, and Luke.
