Meet the artists, curators, and cultural practitioners reviewing submissions for ELSEHERE’s 2026 Experimental Arts Festival.

Four days of experimental work entered a living New York garden. The encounters were temporary; their artistic and public record will continue.

Everything you need to know before attending the 2026 New York Experimental Arts Festival at Le Petit Versailles.

The 2026 New York Experimental Arts Festival enters a garden with its own history of performance, public culture, community labor, and artistic experimentation.

Plan your visit to four days of performance, moving image, installation, sound, and site-responsive work across Le Petit Versailles.

Enter four days of performance, moving image, installation, sound, and site-responsive work at Le Petit Versailles in New York City.

From October 8–11, a group of artists working across performance, moving image, installation, sound, and hybrid practice will transform Le Petit Versailles through four days of site-responsive work.

The garden is not a backdrop. It is an active condition through which bodies, images, materials, sound, weather, and public life meet.

The open call has entered its curatorial review phase. ELSEHERE is now considering proposals across performance, moving image, installation, sound, and site-responsive practice for the 2026 New York Experimental Arts Festival.
