RVCA
RVCA is an apparel company founded in 2001 that first grabbed my attention with their featured artist tees. I thought it was such a rad idea to give popular contemporary artist a wearable canvas on my chest. this was during a time when skateboarding felt a bit far removed from art galleries it helped tie it all back together for me.
'Ruca'. 'Ruca' can be translated as "clothes" in Greek , and it is believed the 'V' as 'U' convention arises from this Greco-Roman connection. However, the closest anglicization of the Greek word for "clothes" (ρούχα) would be roúcha.
The RVCA Artist Network Program (ANP) is a groundbreaking initiative by RVCA that highlights and supports the work of both established and emerging artists across various disciplines.
