A Simple Collective is a passionate group of contemporary artists and arts professionals dedicated to supporting access and independence in the arts while promoting the San Francisco Bay Area as a hub of unique and innovative art activity in the international art scene. We mix ingenuity and a hint of subversion with sharp business-savvy and real-world experience to create a new business model aiming to show creativity and equality can be commercially viable in our new economy.
A Simple Collective was founded by curator and project-based artist Rhiannon Evans MacFadyen and is made up of intersectional artists, curators, writers, and art supporters. The work we do is as diverse as our individual members, but we are all connected through contemporary, content-driven art. Most of A Simple Collective’s programming is presented via
Black & White Projects in San Francisco, but you can also find us in virtual space, in studio spaces, on streets from SF to NY, and in various combinations together in our work.
Similar to the “design collective” model, ASC's individual practitioners work in various combinations to produce some outcome: to create, to educate, to commune, to enrich. Our network collaborates to support each other’s projects, businesses, communities, and ideas through shared skills and resources. We are a vehicle to create access and opportunities in the art community.
