Gift Economy!

instant karma points?

yeah, that's right.

The Spore is a radical social space free of commercial sponsorship. We actively resist the capitalist illogic of mind-numbing production and spectator-based consumption. We instead promote unmediated experiences rooted in participatory cultural creation and free exchange of ideas and resources.

Everything that happens here is made possible by countless unique acts of selfless gift giving. Folks gift their energy, wisdom, dreams, and dollars for the benefit of the community. Creative cooperation has gotten us this far, and will continue to be the transformative social force that allows this project to thrive and grow.

Write the Spore if you'd like to help out in any way! Have some extra cash hiding between your couch cushions? Great! Help us pay rent!

Hate PayPal? Good! Stop by the shop to make a cash or check donation, or write us and we can figure something else out!
