Rogue Gene Collective
Rogue Gene Collective is a small group of artists who are committed to helping each other attain a higher level of visibility for their work. We do this by pooling resources, information, knowledge and contacts. There are currently eight full time members, and a few guest artists.
As well as being artists, all members act as agents, couriers and publicists for the other members. The members have been chosen to be different in locale, gender, education, artistic genre and preferred technique. This means we offer a wide variety of quality original artwork to the collector, occasional buyer or corporate buyer. Promotional pamphlets are available from the downloads page.
We also arrange exhibitions of our work around the country, and there are usually some of our members present at each Addingham exhibition. See the Events pages for more details.
