WHO THIS IS FOR
Grant & fellowship applications
Residency & academic programs
O-1, EB-1A & global talent visa cases
Portfolio & press development
A stronger editorial feature, interview, or published text can give institutions, curators, and selection panels a fuller understanding of your practice, its direction, and the context in which the work is developing.
Publication, critical framing, and a more durable public-facing record can also become meaningful supporting materials across grants, residencies, academic opportunities, and international artist visa pathways.
These formats help artists build stronger language, more usable links, and clearer editorial materials for galleries, curators, collaborators, and future opportunities.
Overview
This is ELSEHERE’s most complete artist-facing feature format.
It is built for artists who already know that one page or one interview is not enough. Some practices need a broader structure: a stronger introduction, a fuller written feature, a live editorial conversation, and some form of critical framing that can hold the work more fully.
This format is especially valuable for artists preparing for major submissions, long-term positioning, institutional visibility, and international career development. It is also one of the most useful formats for artists who are thinking seriously about visa portfolios, O-1, EB-1A, global talent pathways, and the broader administrative record required for sustaining an international career.
Best for
artists who want a complete editorial package rather than a single output
artists preparing for higher-stakes opportunities, major submissions, or long-term positioning
artists building serious portfolio materials for galleries, grants, residencies, fellowships, and institutions
artists developing O-1, EB-1A, global talent visa, and long-term international career documentation
artists who want a stronger record across profile, interview, multimedia, and critical framing
About this format
This format is about building a more complete record.
When an artist is trying to move forward internationally, present work more seriously, or consolidate the language and materials around a practice, isolated outputs are often not enough. A stronger system is needed. That is what this format provides.
It gives artists a fuller editorial architecture around the work and can continue to serve across public visibility, professional use, and long-term administrative contexts.
WHO CAN APPLY
This program is open to international artists and cultural practitioners whose work aligns with ELSEHERE’s editorial scope.
We work across media, including visual art, performance, moving image, installation, text-based practice, and interdisciplinary forms.
Applicants should have at least a basic public-facing presence, such as a website, portfolio, or relevant online materials.
SELECTION & REVIEW
ELSEHERE works through a curated editorial model.
There is no fee to submit for review.
Only selected artists receive a publication offer.
Publication fees apply only after selection.
This allows us to work with greater editorial care and to build a stronger, more durable public-facing record for the artists and texts we choose to publish.
