About the RSS

The Royal Sarcophagus Society, formed in 2002, is a Toronto-based collective of visual designers, artists, dancers, accountants, vagabonds, seers, seekers and pastry chefs dedicated to putting the unpredictable in to the every day.

The RSS's goal is that of liberating magic, art, whimsy and idle daydreaming and setting it free from the shackles of mass produced, predictable, modern day, dim-witted, dunder-headed profit orientated sameness.

Each year, we produce an Autumnal Soiree to showcase our members and guests. Throughout the year, members collaborate on poetry readings, music, book publishing, custom packaging, website design, scents, secrets, divinations and all manner of tomfoolery.

For information on our merry band of misfits, contact us here.

The RSS Manifesto

The Royal Sarcophagus Society is a loose collective of artists, writers, dancers, musicians, rogues and vagabonds all dedicated to the earnest belief that art saves lives - that however well lit a room is, the corners should always be kept in shadow - that idealism can and should be upheld - that eccentricity is valuable and should be guarded rather than repressed - that technology can serve well when used appropriately - and that we do all that we can (nothing half-assed) with visionary earnestness, purity and (with our own definition of) beauty.

(Somehow all of this, and not work for the man).
