Elsewhere offeres an unparalleled framework for art practices, processes, and productions outside the traditional gallery, museum, and residency systems.  The complete call for artists, residency brochure (PDF) and application deadlines are available at http://www.elsewhereelsewhere.org/residencies.html.
