The Vibe is a jam session for poets, writers, musicians, vocalists, and other artists, with or without formal training. This shift from performing to making, co-creating, and swapping ideas, using Elsewhere’s space and equipment.

The Vibe takes place on 3rd Tuesdays: 7/19, 8/16, 9/20, 10/18, 11/15

It is a BIPOC-autonomous, Black-led and centered learning space by design.

It is free, family-friendly, and the only space of its kind in downtown Greensboro. We hope “The Vibes” will eventually spring up everywhere.

Elsewhere demonstrates our commitment to community development by supporting artists and artist groups based in and around Greensboro and the region, especially BIPOC and queer artists, leveraging its building, programs, finances, and audiences for this support.

The Vibe was created by local rapper and organizer, Chacyn Sparxx, and Elsewhere Managing Director, April Parker, in 2021. It came from a conversation about how Elsewhere was going to be intentional about cultivating Blackness in its space and through its programming.
