Hi! I’m Eva. I am a writer, editor, designer, fundraiser, and multifaceted storyteller. If you’re [an artist, writer, nonprofit professional, entrepreneur, or dreamer] working with words and ideas and all the sticky questions they unearth, let’s put our heads together to cut a path to clarity and make something interesting. Talk with me about [artist statements, case statements, creative copy, catalogs, essays, books, grant proposals, funder research, and] all the shapes in which you’re working to organize your words and work into compelling narratives that inspire creativity and action.

I’m available for new projects — say hello and get in touch at evarogers (at) gmail (dot) com.

I have twenty years’ experience working closely with organizations including The Contemporary Austin, Headlands Center for the Arts, Library Futures, Organization for Ethical Source, Center for Humane Technology, Creative Commons, Vanta, University of California, Berkeley, Museum of Contemporary Art Tucson, and The Arizona Daily Star to shape persuasive narratives connecting funders and key audiences with important work serving the public good.

I interviewed Chicago artists Ash Hudson + Ben Driggs and Los Angeles artist Gene Sculatti for Quickest Flip, a magazine and online showcase that promotes inclusion in the arts. I’ve been an editorial reader for Zoetrope: All-Story, the quarterly literary publication founded by Francis Ford Coppola. I provided editorial support for KIOSK’s archive installation featured in MoMA PS1’s Greater New York 2016 exhibition. I consulted with the School of Visual Arts’ MA Program in Critical Theory and the Arts to shape and support their fundraising strategy and prospect plan as the program completed its first year. 

I exchanged letters weekly in a live epistolary experiment for three-plus years with the one and only Sarah Hinchliff Pearson at rogshinch.com, and was one-third of the trio behind the experimental advice column Long Distance Questions. See me gram from time to time @rogevarog and while you’re there, explore the list of artists, writers, designers, makers, creative researchers, and friends whose work I love to absorb and celebrate.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in English from the University of Michigan, where I was an undergraduate Hopwood Award finalist, and a Master of Arts in Visual Communications from San Francisco State University, where I received the Judges’ Choice award for my design work, including an atlas of the smells of San Francisco.

I’m a collector of books, magazines, print ephemera, and ceramics; an art book fair nomad; a temporarily lapsed cellist; an attentive knoller; and an explorer of craft methodologies of all stripes, including woodworking (I’m a proud founding board member of Fireweed Community Woodshop), woodblock printing, Risograph printing, collage, cyanotype process, photography, watercolor, calligraphy, letterpress, architectural drawing, clothing construction, metalworking, and neon. (On the horizon: ceramics!)
