Elsewhere Collaborative
Elsewhere Collaborative is a living museum set within a three-story former thrift store in Greensboro, NC. The museum presents a changing, interactive environment of artworks, objects, and events. Elsewhere’s artist residency program invites 35 creatives across disciplines to create site-specific projects that respond to an emerging community and a 58-year collection of surplus and thrift, that serves as resource for creative and critical projects across media.
