SPORE a collection, a beginning, a continuation, a replication, a tiny migration, a spreading, a movement, a place, an idea
SPACE a continuous area and expanse, a dimension of height, depth, width, a three dimensional realm in which material objects are located and events occur, a place available for a particular purpose, an interval or blank area in text, non interference, opportunity to express oneself.
Spore Space is an artist-run project space in Ojai, California operated and organized by Rosemary Hall , Kira Doutt, and Elizabeth Herring. It is located in-between Serendipity Toys and Ojai Valley Real Estate offices (the old English Pantry!).
It is a placeholder for open-ended artistic experimentation and community connection. Spore Space is a direct line between artists and visible public space in downtown Ojai. Our window offers the ability to share work to a an audience of passersby.
