Elsewhere, an artist-centered space in Greensboro, North Carolina offers one of the most unique residency experiences in the country. Housed in a former surplus store, with much of its inventory of notions, fabric, toys, and clothing still on the shelves, the institution welcomes artists to engage with the history and materiality of its permanent collection of household goods. With an entire building at their disposal, artists at Elsewhere are invited to create new projects, reimagine the work of past residents, or generate programs in collaboration with the local community.

“Our grantees range from small arts organizations with one staff member to major museums, yet they all provide essential resources for artists as well as innovative platforms for critical cultural dialogue. Creative risk-taking is at the heart of this country’s most meaningful social, political, and cultural developments, therefore we are proud to stand behind artist-centered organizations that support experimental practice.”
Joel Wachs, President
