Elsewhere Call for applications Application deadline: February 13, 2016 Elsewhere 606 South Elm Street Greensboro, NC 27406 museum@goelsewhere.org www.goelsewhere.org/apply   Share Elsewhere—a living museum, residency and creative laboratory set inside a former thrift store—is accepting applications from artists and researchers working across all media, fields and disciplines for 2016. Elsewhere's three-story museum contains a vast 60-year inventory of cultural surplus and thrift, no longer for sale and available for interpretation and transformation by its visiting residents. Residents live and work within Elsewhere's ever-evolving installation, creating site-specific works that engage the museum's collection, context and communities. Elsewhere encourages investigations into people and things, exploring inventories, artworks, living systems, and neighbors that model, exemplify, and invent new ways of living, working, and playing.  For more information and to apply, visit goelsewhere.org.  Fellowships available for artists born or based in the South.  Curatorial positions and internships also available.  Elsewhere Retreats for students Elsewhere Retreats welcome university classes for immersive retreats that explore contemporary art, site-specific, and community practices. Creative Retreats are 1–5 day group residencies that challenge students to think differently about site-specificity, storytelling, sustainability, experimentation and collaboration in their art practice. Retreats foster collaborative dynamics and critical idea exchange while introducing students to the professional workings of an alternative, non-commercial arts organization combining radical action and creative production in the south.  Take your class on an adventure.    Elsewhere is funded in part by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts, ArtPlace America, The Kresge Foundation,The National Endowment for the Arts, The North Carolina Arts Council, ArtsGreensboro, Tannenbaum Sternberger Foundation, The Community Foundation of Greater Greensboro, The Fund for Democratic Communities, The Elizabeth Firestone Graham Foundation, Guilford Green Foundation, The Harpo Foundation, The Gallucci Creative Fund, Lincoln Financial Foundation, Art Matters & friends like you.
