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.

From 2003 to 2006, the RSS produced an Autumnal Soiree that showcased our members and invited guests and, if we dare say it, was the most magical Halloween party in town. We have also presented a cornucopia of eccentric events, from book readings to bingo. The RSS Press, and its new imprint House of Pomegranate Press, specializes in limited-edition, hand-made art books by our members and other admirable writer types.

Members continue to 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 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).
