After years of dreaming and countless conversations with friends about creating a sober third space in Richmond, Ours has finally become a reality. Nestled in a two-story building near the corner of Strawberry and West Main Street, Ours is here to foster creativity, connection, and community.

In 2024, we transformed the 2,424-square-foot space at 2309 West Main Street into something truly special—a shared studio, event space, classroom, and gathering place for Richmond locals to call their own.

Step inside, and you’ll discover cozy corners perfect for co-working, moments of playful interaction, and opportunities for engaging conversations. It’s a space where you can pause for offline serenity, share a meal, and connect with kindred spirits.

Reciprocity lies at the heart of Ours. Here, the seeds you sow are the fruits you harvest. By working, creating, and playing alongside one another, we can collectively shape a life and community we all cherish. Ours is more than just a space—it’s a place to earn a livelihood, enjoy living, and shine light on one another.

As a sober space, Ours invites us to meet each other as we are, without pretense, and to forge meaningful connections rooted in authenticity. I hope it becomes a refuge for the community—a place for meaningful conversations, shared experiences, parallel play, and mutual learning.

If you have any questions, ideas for events you’d like to host, or simply want to connect with a neighbor, I’d love to hear from you. Send me an email at sam@ours.today, and let’s grow something beautiful together.
