RCA Playing Card Collection
The RCA Playing Card Collection published in 1998, was a limited edition of 2,500 sets of playing cards, designed by 54 RCA artists. The launch for the project coincided with the RCA’s Annual President’s Reception on Oct 16, 1998 at the Edward Day Gallery in Toronto, where the original 54 works were on display. These works were on loan from NORTEL, who acquired the original artwork of the RCA Playing Card Collection for their permanent art collection. The collection was later displayed at the Gallery Stratford, Stratford, Ontario in the summer of 1999. Reprinted in 2000, some copies of The Playing Card Collection are still available.

RCA Book of Days
Under the initiative and direction of Ron Bolt RCA, Firefly Books published a bilingual RCA Book of Days which contains photographs of the works of 55 RCA members. Award-winning graphic designer Stuart Ash RCA designed the project which was launched as a fundraising project for the Fall 1997 market.
