Elsewhere's residency program welcomes visual artists, writers, poets, musicians, scientists, teachers, etc. at any stage of their creative career. The experience at Elsewhere is designed around artistically crafted living and studio spaces in the stunning setting and warm community of Paonia, Colorado. Residencies rotate on a monthly basis, with the option for artists to choose to stay for several months. Exact dates and program details can be found in the application. Learn more about the residency, the space and common questions. Feel free to write to info@elsewherestudios.org with specific inquiries.
Limited scholarships are available. Underrepresented folks and those with financial need are encouraged to apply.
Parent artists with children are welcome to attend by staying in our Basement Apartment space.
If you’ve applied before, you’ll notice that this is a new system! We designed this process to be faster & easier for artists to showcase their practice and for us to provide more information about the residency along the way. It is a new process so feel free to write to us with feedback.
The image above is an infographic that reads: Elsewhere Studios is a small art residency formed in 2011 in the rural settings of Paonia, CO. Elsewhere hosts artists from around the world and provides them with the opportunity to focus on their work in a unique and supportive environment. The residency is an eclectic, imaginative space that values exploration and experimentation, nurturing artists and facilitating intentional community engagement. Elsewhere is open to visual artists, writers, musicians, performing artists, scientists, activists, teachers, students, or any kind of creative worker wanting to dive into their practice. There are four different residency spaces and we generally host between four and six artists at a time. Various scholarships are available.
