Call for Applicants

Call for Applications

Elsewhere, a living museum, residency and creative laboratory inside a former thrift store in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina, is now accepting applications for 2017/18 residencies, fellowships, and internships from artists and organizers working across all media, fields and disciplines. Elsewhere’s three-story museum contains an evolving collection of artworks, cultural and material surplus that provide an experimental context for artists to create new work.

Elsewhere does not discriminate on the basis of race, age, creed, color, religion, national origin or ancestry, gender identity, disability, sexual orientation, expression or parents/guardians with children. Elsewhere, like many art institutions, is a predominantly white space. In an effort to resist and decolonize systemic cultures of intersectional oppression, we encourage queer and trans artists of color to apply.

RESIDENCIES

SESSIONS STARTING JULY 2017

Elsewhere offers 2-4 week residencies. Each session, six artists live and work in the museum. A team of curators, interns and community members support residents in the creation of new work and regular museum programming.

FELLOWSHIPS:

SOUTHERN CONSTELLATIONS | 7.11-8.8.2017

Southern Constellations offers six fellowships (room/board/travel/$1000 honorarium) for artists raised or based in the Southern United States to participate in a month-long Elsewhere residency to create new works at the museum and participate in dialogues on the conditions of experimental art production in the South.

Exchange residencies are dedicated to exploring emerging local ecologies of contemporary art production in key cities. 2015 highlighted Chicago, 2016 focused on Miami and for 2017 we are looking to Baltimore. Elsewhere seeks to curate a dynamic, interdisciplinary artist experience that will generate collaborative formations among local artists from Baltimore and build connectivity between our two cities.
