Gina Lyles is a program leader at ART 180 where she currently leads programs in creative expression at the Richmond Juvenile Detention Center. Trey Hartt is on the Board of Directors for Alternate ROOTS, a regional organization calling for social and economic justice and working to dismantle all forms of oppression. Hartt currently serves as the Deputy Director of ART 180 helping to lead its new juvenile justice program. For the past year, Gina and Trey have been working together on the Performing Statistics project connecting incarcerated youth to artists, legal experts, and community activists in order to advance juvenile justice reform in Virginia. The project has gained the attention of the local Richmond City Police Chief and the Director of the Virginia Department of Juvenile Justice and was recently awarded a Robins Foundation Community Innovation Grant to transition it into a 3-year program of ART 180 and the Legal Aid Justice Center.
