From October 8–14 and October 29–November 11, 2025, RPS curator Yumi Goto—normally based in Tokyo—will be in residence at RPS KYOTO PAPEROLES. During these periods, we are pleased to offer in-person mentorship sessions for those in the Kansai region, as well as for anyone who finds it more convenient to meet in Kyoto rather than Tokyo.
The RPS Mentorship is a benefit of the ISO100 (and above) membership, providing mentorship sessions throughout the year based on your needs. This service is available for both new and developing works and is typically conducted throughout the year.
