Elsewhere is a museum and artist residency transforming a former second-hand store and its 60-year collection of material surplus.

“The Collection” of objects in this 3 story former furniture, fabric, military surplus and thrift amassed by Sylvia Gray over her 60-years as proprietress of a second-hand store in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. When Sylvia passed, her grandson determined the materials become a collection and an archive, nothing would leave the space and nothing would be acquired. Instead, the collection would be the foundation for imagining a new world and collaborative model for creation.

Elsewhere provides material and context for site-specific artistic experimentation and interdisciplinary collaboration, and the archive continually repurposed and re-imagined.
