OUR THIRD RTS RESIDENT WAS HELENA KEFFEE.
FROM HELENA: “As an artist who has what you might call a “post-studio” practice (I am often coordinating people and arranging logistics so my studio is more of an office with room to draw and sew but not good for making messes) it was a treat to be given a chunk of time to play more with space.”
WHILE AT RTS HELENA WORKED ON A LARGER PROJECT AT OUR NEIGHBORING OAKLAND MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA, CHECK IT OUT HERE.

BEFORE WE HAD EVEN FINISHED BUILDING THE PARTITIONS FOR THE STUDIO SPACES, WE WELCOMED OUR FIRST RESIDENT ARTIST: COLTER JACOBSEN.
FROM COLTER:
Upon hearing that the previous incarnation of RTS was a Publishing house, I decided to utilize my residency and the bulk of my time in the printing of a book of poetry called From the Golden West Notebook by Jason Morris.
The finished book in situ at Violette Alby‘s house.
