Each artwork and object within Elsewhere is available for continuous transformation by future creatives, fostering a legacy of ongoing artistic dialogue. Residents benefit from full funding including room, board, travel support, and a stipend. Elsewhere is deeply integrated into the local community, encouraging residents to engage with local cultural histories, social systems, and neighborhood communities.
