Projects
Elsewhere hosts 50+ new projects a year: from artworks to research, from events to extravaganzas, from residency works to collaborative upfits.
Miami Goes Elsewhere Residency
Six Miami interdisciplinary artists were residents at Elsewhere from June 8th-July 6th, 2016 for a curated fellowship. Elsewhere partnered with select Miami artists and arts leaders to curate this special residency exploring the local ecology of artists and creative practitioners from one of the world's most vibrant scenes.
South Elm Projects
Greensboro, NC (population 277,100) is home to a vibrant, natural occurring cultural district in its South Elm neighborhood. Through South Elm Projects, Elsewhere is creating site-specific activations of four underutilized alleyways and green-spaces throughout the district. These activations will encourage further, naturally occurring development in the neighborhoods adjacent to South Elm. Projects will be commissioned from more than 20 artists, designers, and collectives.
Restore Elsewhere
Elsewhere is restoring its 100-year old building to make the museum more accessible, safe and sustainable. Since the beginning, we've been fixing up the building bit-by-bit, but now its time to secure our building for years to come. Restoring Elsewhere creates twelve live-work artist studios, year-round programming and museum operations, and three-floor public museum access.
Urban Exchange Residency I | Chicago: Museum as Instrument
A month-long residency brings a group of Chicago-based sound artists to the museum to create a series of new sound works and performances at the museum that turn the building itself into a musical instrument. The residency is curated by Shannon Stratton, Chief Curator of The Museum of Arts and Design in New York and Founder and Executive Director Emeritus of Threewalls in Chicago, and Joe Jeffers, musician, producer and Director of 8550 Ohio (Chicago and Chesterhill, OH). Throughout June and early July, Elsewhere will host a series of public workshops and events with these artists culminating in a July First Friday public performance to Play the Museum.
