Since 2009, Space 4 Art has provided affordable housing and studios to 140 artists in San Diego. Currently, the space houses about 40 tenant artists in 17 work-only and 6 live-in studios, bringing together practitioners who approach art through different mediums and sensibilities. At Space 4 Art, materials, creation, bodies, and minds coalesce in space and time. As a consequence of proximity, Space 4 Art offers an opportunity for artists to meet, collaborate, exchange ideas, become friends, and sometimes fall in love. "The Possibility of Something Happening" explores the phenomenological nature of chance across art practices and human encounters. All participating artists are past or present tenants or closely associated artists who have activated and experienced the possibilities within this expansive site. Show runs March 3 - April 15 at the Art Produce Gallery. See our websites for important details about gallery hours and special events. *Entry through Botanica Wednesday-Sunday 5-8 p.m. Related links: Space 4 Art on Instagram Art Produce on Instagram Related events:
