CHAPTER 1: ELSEWHERE, GENERAL INFORMATION
A. | MISSION AND HISTORY ELSEWHERE’S MISSION Elsewhere is a living museum, experimental residency set in a former thrift-store containing one woman’s 58-year collection of material culture. Elsewhere connects global artists with local communities to instigate a more curious, collaborative culture in Greensboro, NC and beyond.
HER-STORY Proprietress and collector Sylvia Gray, began a used furniture store in 1939 at 606 South Elm Street. Eventually her inventories transitioned as she began selling WWII army surplus through catalog sales to boy scouts, hospitals, other general stores across the country. In 1955, Sylvia’s husband Joe passed away unexpectedly, and her inventories transitioned. She began amassing fabric from the local mills, vintage clothing, toys, kitchen ware, and eventually general thrift, which she stored in mountains heaps throughout the three story building. When Sylvia passed in 1997, the store was boarded up with the contents left in mountainous heaps without destination.
FOUNDING George Scheer and Stephanie Sherman met in 2003 at the University of Pennsylvania. As young writers, they had a vision for experimental, inter-disciplinary creatives unfolding their community narrative through the continual transformation of a 21st Century Wonder-Cabinet. They declared nothing for sale, and started inviting artists from across the world to join them in remaking the building and its collection into an experimental museum. In May 2004, Elsewhere Inc. received its as a 501(c)3 non-profit status, with initial governing board composed of George Scheer III, Stephanie Sherman, and David Gray, the building owner. A Cabinet of community leaders in Greensboro and beyond support Elsewhere’s operations and provide financial and programmatic oversight.

B. | PROGRAMS Elsewhere expresses its mission through four platforms. 1. LIVING MUSEUM 2. CREATIVE RESIDENCIES 3. COLLABORATIVE LABORATORY 4. ETC.: ELSEWHERE’S TENURED COLLABORATORS
THE LIVING MUSEUM Elsewhere’ living museum, open to the public Wed-Sat 1-10pm, provides a unique cultural anchor for downtown Greensboro and a destination for local, state-wide, and global visitors. The museum presents a changing, interactive environment of artworks, objects, and events. Inspiring new ways to look at and re-purpose recent cultural surplus, the museum activates curiosity and connectivity, by presenting new concepts, perspectives, and life practices to visitors. Living Museum advances creative culture through ● regular event and programming designed by artists ● a Storefront Window Theater hosting performance and music ● monthly dinners prepared in an artist-designed kitchen ● an alley garden exploring sustainable solutions to urban culture ● a sewing workshop that shares textile skills and resourcesa ● workshops held by global artists that teach practical skills and creative approaches to intergenerational participants
RESIDENCY PROGRAM Elsewhere’s residency program selects 50 creatives per year to visit Greensboro for 3-6 weeks to create site-specific projects for the living museum and downtown Greensboro. Depending on their project, residents work with communities at various levels of engagement. Emerging creatives learn a public process and explore new material, site-specific practices. Twice a year, established artists are commissioned to work with Elsewhere on a project that links creatives and communities intentfully and holistically.
COLLABORATIVE LABORATORY Elsewhere’s collaborative laboratory creates platforms for exploring creativity, play, resourcefulness, and leadership through experimental, inter-generational, and hands-on approaches. Elsewhere's CoLab offers tours, workshops, and retreats for k-12 schools in Guilford County, and university students from across the state and nation.
ELSEWHERE TENURED COLLABORATORS (ETC.) Elsewhere’s network of past artists is composed of creatives who have demonstrated an intensive commitment to Elsewhere’s mission. This collective pursues project commissions for public and private global venues.
606 South Elm Street, Greensboro, NC 27406
C. | FUTURE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 1. TO BUILD A MORE ADVANCED PRODUCTION SITE that forwards creative practices through new forms of connectivity, resourcefulness, and dynamic process, fostering interdisciplinary thinking and enlivening contemporary culture. 2. TO CULTIVATE A PARTICIPATORY MUSEUM COMMONS that invites curiosity, learning, and exchange among an ever changing and multi-faceted community of global and local participants. 3. TO PLATFORM A LEARNING LABORATORY that develops and models alternative educational strategies and highlights the role of context in collaborative, responsive, and solution-oriented learning. 4. TO EVOLVE A MORE DYNAMIC CITY through thoughtful development of Elsewhere’s building, organization, and neighborhood, that encourages sustainable, connected, and beautiful urban life. Further exemplify how creative institutions everywhere can be more flexible, playful, responsive, and socially engaged with their communities. 5. TO ADVANCE MATERIAL CULTURE RESEARCH + PRACTICE by exploring the way “things” inform and activate contemporary social consciousness, and challenge our collective futures to discover new applications and contexts for relational thinking. 6. TO EXTEND AN ELSEWHERE CONCEPT that furthers Elsewhere ideas, approaches, and investigations into global venues. 7. TO PROVIDE A HOME FOR ARTISTS that provides international creatives a site and network for producing new projects and initiatives 8. TO RESTORE A HISTORIC SITE by creating a fully integrated live/work/museum in the heart of downtown Greensboro. Elsewhere’s restoration will be part of a broader process that supports a neighborhood vision and generates research on the economic impact of alternative arts practices for our city, state, and region.
