Our mission is to encourage the use and understanding of collage as a fine art form and to provide education about collage as a fine art form.
Our organization is affiliated with the National Collage Society. Susan Stanton is the National Collage Society Regional Representative for the Rocky Mountain Region. For more information contact her at: 970-243-9886 or SPGarden@aol.com.
The Rocky Mountain Collage Society was formed in 2007 by a dedicated group of students of collage. Although most of our members currently are in Mesa County, we hope to draw members from the front range as well as other western states.
In 2009, RMCS was instrumental in bringing the National Collage Society's Annual Postcard Show to Grand Junction at The Art Center. We also co-hosted two very well received workshops by the world renown collage artist, Jonathan Talbot, at Mesa State College, this past spring.

January 14th Meeting
Join RMCS for our annual workday at Gayle Gerson's House:
Saturday afternoon, January 14th from 1 - 4.
This year we will do "All the Same Stuff" packets. Please bring
your matte medium (or another adhesive of choice), scissors and
brushes and a $4.00 fee for the 4x4 inch cradled board that will be
provided to you to collage upon.
Also bring a lunchable munchable to share with the group
(something easy to eat while working.) Drinks will be provided
(water, soda, coffee, tea.)
It is absolutely MANDATORY to RSVP to Gayle at 241-8561 or
galstarr@bresnan.net so she will know how many places to set
and packets to prepare. Please RSVP by January 7th.
(We hope to be able to make groupings of our work on the 4"x4" cradled
boards to display at our member's show in September.)
Tom Calenberg plans to demonstrate a painting technique using paints of differing viscosities
that lends itself very well to collage work at the January 14th meeting. If members want to
try out this technique after the demonstration, He asks each artist to bring two clean 2" nylon
brushes, scrap matboard, a water container to rinse out the brushes between applications and a
roll of paper towel or paint rags.
