Opened October 2021 in the old Merchant Hotel in collaboration with Spirited Justice, the WOHM Creative Space currently serves as a hub in Old Town Portland connecting artists to resources in the community and beyond. A continually evolving meeting, creative and presentation area with room for expanded multimedia capabilities, the 3300 sq ft WOHM Creative Space serves for both planning and artistic execution.
As Black-owned businesses take root in Old Town, it felt right to make this new home for We Out Here Magazine. Spirited Justice and Ease & Abundance, LLC are also operated from the location.
