Elsewhere is no longer accepting applications for 2020 opportunities from creatives working across media, fields, and disciplines. Elsewhere’s evolving collection of past projects, material surplus, unique concepts, and access to local and national communities provide an unparalleled site for creative inquiry. Join us in using the collection of a former thrift store to inspire new futures from old things!

CAREERS

Elsewhere has no open positions.

RESIDENCIES

Elsewhere’s residency programs support artists engaging with relevant issues of site and culture while strengthening contemporary art production in under-served areas. Annually, 35 creatives are selected to collectively live and create new work for Elsewhere’s Living Museum. Residents receive room, board, abundant materials, studio space, and access to equipment. In conjunction with this, Elsewhere staff provides promotional and networking opportunities coupled with production, programming, documentary and curatorial support. Residencies are available during 5 sessions, each 2-4 weeks long with up to 7 residents at a time. The Residency program is partially subsidized with a nominal fee. In 2020, Elsewhere is offering various opportunities to fund parent artists and/or individuals from the Southern US or Kansas City.

INTERNSHIPS

Annually, 12 internships are offered to emerging leaders. Internships are available during 3 sessions, each approximately 15 weeks long with up to 4 interns at a time. Interns see the inner functions of a dynamic, alternative arts organization run by a small team and help support the nonprofit’s organizational, artistic, and community-based projects through hands-on learning. In 2020, Elsewhere is offering The ABOVEGROUND RAILROAD Scholarship (realized by past resident Jessica Moss) to one black, female high school student from the Triad, who is committed to pursuing an administrative career within the Arts.
