Jill Spector is a Los Angeles based artist and art worker whose creative practice encompasses artmaking, performance, design, teaching, consulting, and collaboration. Her background blends performance and sculpture, crossing disciplinary boundaries, and is the foundation for her consultancy, In Favor Of, where she works with artists and designers to nurture moments in the creative process where collaboration, innovative growth, and community collide. Jill’s sculptures and collages were included in Made in L.A. at the Hammer Museum, and her work has been presented at Kunsthaus Graz, Pinakothek der Moderne, and Nationaltheater in Munich. She co-founded TARP, a series of site-based performances at her former home in Altadena, CA, and initiated Designing Women, a conversation series by women who own and operate businesses in art and design. Jill Spector and artist Julie Weitz co-founded Tzitzit Project – a community-based initiative focused on expanding Jewish spiritual practice via an inclusive design approach to a traditional ritual garment- the tallit katan. Jill received her MFA from Art Center College of Design and her BFA from Syracuse University School of Visual and Performing Arts. She is currently faculty at Syracuse University’s Dick Clark Los Angeles Center and the coordinator for Syracuse University’s LA Turner Semester Residency Program, supporting MFA students in developing professional practices in the arts.
