Welcome to our last featured artist! will have a display up through September.

Ryan Flynn is a mixed media artist with a focus on paper collage. They create analog collages using vintage magazines, comics, and books. Their process is intuitive, driven by color, and chaotic. Juxtaposition is often seen in their work representing the difficulties and joys of life. They chose the name sacred chaos because collage helps them sort through their emotions and experiences in a deeply personal way. They started collaging 3 years ago and have created over 200 original works. Their work features themes of mental illness, disability, body positivity, q***r identity, and society. Collage is one of their favorite mediums because cutting up images is a rejection of society’s viewpoint. It breaks images down and rebuilds them to reflect a different worldview and experiences. The use of simple, secondhand paper is a rejection of the hierarchy and exclusion often found in the art world.

Find more or at sacredchaosart.com, and join them for a Political Collage DIY session on September 20th, 12-2 pm at the Raven.

We have been so proud to offer an inclusive space for those who needed it over the last almost two years, but the time has come for us to step away.

We found ourselves as the last two people of what had been an eight member team. This work is not sustainable with two people, especially when we are volunteering our time and effort, and we were not given the tools or the resources needed in order to sustain the shop long term. We were not given a working espresso machine, appropriate training, or even a full disclosure of what the Raven’s situation was. In an effort to continue to provide for the community, we navigated a very difficult situation the best that we could.

With the continued lack of support from those who are legally and financially responsible for the Red Raven, we are choosing to step away & not recruit new members to be financially abused by the unserious, incompetent people who wanted to keep the Raven going without putting in the necessary work.

We sincerely thank everyone who donated, who made purchases at the shop, who exhibited art, who organized events in our space. You have made this work worth it, and I’m so sorry the irresponsibility of a few will affect so many of you who wanted to see the Raven continue. In truth, the Raven should never exist in a rented space—its generated revenue should have benefited the community, or its workers—not Goldmark. But that is the reality. I ask that you keep that in mind should future financial requests appear.

We will be closing at the end of the month.
