All the proceeds will go to RPSC’s general operating costs. So we can continue to offer low-cost  and free classes, amazing free gallery exhibitions, and hand made goodies in our retail section.

Sneakers, Decks, and Knuckle Tats For Reals


We’re gonna try this again! Rock Paper Scissors Collective announces a call to artists for original works of art on sneakers, skateboards or knuckles. While we would prefer to have the physical pieces, photos will be accepted. We’ve noticed it’s especially difficult to display knuckles that are still attached to people. Artists currently residing in or having a strong connection the Oakland Bay Area will be given preference.

Please send no more than three 300dpi JPEGs in a zip file no larger than 10mb per email to gallery@rpscollective.com. There is no entry fee. Submission deadline is September 5, 2010.

Notification of acceptance by September 12th. Accepted pieces must be ready for display and delivered to RPS in person Saturday, September 25 or Sunday, May 26 from noon – 7pm or via mail by September 25.

Work to be shown in the RPSC Gallery October 1 – 22.

Our hearts go out to family and friends

RPSC Seeking Summer Interns

There are opportunities available in all areas of RPSC. Keep an eye on this spot for more information or feel free to contact folks at the email addresses below.

Gallery

This internship provides an excellent opportunity to gain experience in gallery curating practices and procedures. The Gallery Committee facilitates and coordinates RPS Collective’s active exhibition program, including the review, development, and implementation. The work is primarily administrative (emailing, phone calls, other projects) and supports both long-range planning and short-term project development but also includes some actual installation. The Committee interfaces primarily with artists, patrons and other RPSC staff. Interns may work on a variety of projects that support the development and implementation of gallery exhibitions. Please contact JenZoom at galleryatrpscollectivedotcom. Thanks!
