ABOUT RBA Creative

RBA Creative was founded by Randolph Belle in 2007 as a graphic design and communications firm. RBA has since evolved and is proud to be affiliated with a host of businesses that enable them to provide a comprehensive offering of creative and consulting services. Randolph's wife, Erica, joined the business in 2017 to assist with the vision of acquiring space that offers so much to the Laurel District and arts community at large. Her love of art, dance background, and administration experience has equipped her well for this venture.

RBA is an acronym for Randolph Belle, Artist. Randolph was a visual artist in his early career; painting, airbrushing, and working with youth through his non-profit Support Oakland Artists (SOA). You can still catch him drawing or painting when he has time.

Vision: Fostering authentic human connection in a digital world through creativity. We believe that face to face human interaction and the cultivating of authentic relationships is being lost as technology advances. Creative businesses, services, artists/artisans, and crafting can provide personal and communal healing through self-expression; plus give an opportunity to find common ground with others we would otherwise not engage with.

Mission:

• Provide shared workspace, classes, and events to help creative businesses thrive.

• Provide photography studio space to help these businesses create materials to market themselves.

• Support visual artists by offering space for them to exhibit, sell their works and merchandise, and engage with the public.

• Produce creative events that help people in our community connect with artists and other members of our community.
