Welcome to the Open Spaces web site. We have launched this quarterly magazine to provide a forum for voices that speak with knowledge and insight to issues affecting people in every region of the United States and around the world. As the name suggests, Open Spaces is dedicated to an openness of attitude, intellect and approach. In this spirit, we present thoughtful, well-researched articles on a variety of subjects from a number of different viewpoints.

Those of us who have created Open Spaces are committed to providing context and perspective for current issues commonly offered only in piecemeal or polarized form. Toward this end, we have published writers whose work is of the highest quality, and we are committed to providing them with sufficient space to develop their ideas in depth and in context.  We hope that Open Spaces will provide you with an excuse to go to your favorite chair and read.
