ELSEWHERE STUDIOS IS BACK! and opening its doors to Artists in Residents and the ‘Muse Teahouse’ in November, following our esteemed Halloween Party October 31st, and our new annual fundraiser event ‘JUNK TO FUNK’ ~ September 19th.

CALL FOR ARTIST RESIDENCY APPLICATIONS OPEN!

November 1st 2026 - through - April 2027

Application deadline - Sept 1st

The main floor and upstairs of the Elsewhere building will be opening up for Artist Residents this fall for the winter season and beyond.

You are welcome to land at Elsewhere for a 1 to 3 month Artist Residency to focus on whatever you most need: sanctuary for deep focused work; a laboratory for experimentation and new ideas; or a community hub for teaching, collaborating, and connecting with the valley’s rich creative life.

This is a very intimate experience with three rooms available at a time in the heart of the Paonia community.

Bon voyage to Art on the Farm resident Jude Valentine! She’s packing up her materials and heading out today, but like many resident alumni, already has plans to return to collaborate with new friends in the North Fork Valley.

Plus: Stay tuned for more regarding Elsewhere satellite residencies: opportunities to be a resident in this new iteration, ways to support, and events to attend. We are committed to continuing to bring artists to our beloved valley!

We’d like to introduce our first farm resident, Jude Valentine! She has been creating paintings based on her surroundings, from her home base at to adventures in the mountains outside town and beyond. We love how she captures that special quality of light we have here in Colorado. Here are some of her pieces and her process, but if you’d like to meet her before she heads home to Maine, head down to the Paonia Farmer’s Market this Tuesday, July 30 and find her next to the Thistle Whistle table with some of the art she has been working on this month.

And then on Sunday the 30th from 12-4PM, we will be having a moving sale!! Check the posters for more details, or reach out.

Dear Elsewhere community & people of the North Fork Valley,

Since 2011, Elsewhere Studios has hosted hundreds of artists from around the world at a quirky, cozy green house in Paonia, Colorado. Over the years, residents have found sanctuary, inspiration, and bursts of creativity there. And countless people in the community have poured hard work, dreams, and imagination into the building and its surroundings. But Elsewhere has never been just about the house.

Artist after artist has called Paonia “magical.” Many have described feeling inspired and supported by getting to know others exploring their own creative practices in the greater community. And many have found inspiration in the environment — from the North Fork of the Gunnison River and Mount Jumbo to Black Canyon of the Gunnison and Kebler Pass — and the valley’s abundance.

As we move forward, we will be finding fresh ways to tap into that magic, starting with a big change that will allow us to evolve and grow: Elsewhere is going elsewhere, while staying rooted right here in the North Fork Valley. Leaving the house is bittersweet, but the real magic of Elsewhere and the residency experience is about the connections that artists build: with the community, with the landscape, with fellow artists, and with their own practices.

So what does “going elsewhere” mean? Imagine a “roving” residency, one that pops up in different places in the community, inviting artists to have intimate and unique experiences. Past residents have often been amazed by how warm and welcoming both Elsewhere and the community are, and we’re excited to help future residents experience even more of that warmth as they engage intentionally with the community. And the benefits go both ways: inviting visiting artists to bring their creative passions and vibrancy into local organizations, businesses, and homes will, in turn, enrich and inspire our community.

We hope you feel as energized and hopeful about Elsewhere’s ongoing evolution as we do. If you have any ideas or questions, please reach out!! And if you’d like to lend your support to Elsewhere during this transition, you can donate in the link in bio.
