Elsewhere’s News:
Elsewhere Studios RESIDENCY PROGRAM IS CIRCLING BACK!
Landing back into the Temple to the Muse Building ~ its home for a decade of its previous musings.
Alas, after moving out of the building, and then a year + of exploring ‘satellite’ and ‘roving’ residencies, surfing the challenge of changing management, and navigating life’s way of forcing deep exhales . . . we are landing back home in the heart of the community, in the Elsewhere Studio building ~ ‘The Temple to the Muse’. The same upper living and workspaces will be available again, with the basement opening up to the community as the ‘Muse Teahouse’.
When will this happen?
Most likely in a year from now, when we have built up a stronger foundation of support and programming. Look out for upcoming calls to apply for fall of 2026 - 2027 Artist Residencies!
Whats new and brewing?
Elsewhere becomes a Community Hub with the ‘Muse Teahouse’ ~ opening the portal door in the basement for evening and night elixirs, tea, meeting of minds, music, and amusings. During the day this space becomes, classroom, workshop and practitioner space, and home to the temple’s realms of higher education programs.
Satellite and roving residencies are still part of the vision when the time is right! We are still investigating and planning ~ in the future ~ to offer some off-site satellite living and working spaces. As the Temple becomes more of a hub, and the main floor becomes open to the public for artists to showcase their work more extensively, residents will live and work around town and beyond!
Equipped Studios and Maker spaces. We intend to develop more of these, and work with the already existing equipped studios and makers spaces in our community to make them available for both visiting artists as well as locals to have access to tools and working space for creative projects.
