The GCJM has partnered with Elsewhere Museum, Greensboro Project Space, The Carolina Jews for Justice, local and national synagogues and Jewish institutions and is a noted participating institution of the National Museum of American Jewish History.

What began as an artist residency with the University of North Carolina at Greensboro has become an establishment of the Jewish and greater Greensboro public. GCJM is a decentralized and experimental institution created in the context of questions we asked ourselves about contemporary Jewish museums, about Jewish life in the south and about the Jewish community of Greensboro What can serve as an emerging model of a contemporary Jewish museum in the United States today? How can small Jewish communities throughout the Southern United States claim the same cultural agency to create a Jewish museum as that of their metropolis counterparts in San Francisco, New York or LA? What would that representation look like through material and other cultural production? What could this museum offer to the discourse on contemporary Jewish life in Greensboro and the southern U.S. The Greensboro Contemporary Jewish Museum, the only museum of its kind in North Carolina, is a Jewish museum created in collaboration with faculty and students in the Jewish Studies Department and College of Visual and Performing Arts at the University of North Carolina Greensboro and the greater Greensboro Jewish public.

Current Creative Catalyst Fellow and long-time collaborator, April Parker, premiers her new work, “Unveiling Monuments,” documenting her innovative forms of protest in the time of COVID. Alumni works “I Dreamt I was a Jig-Saw Puzzle, and I’m Thrilled to Pieces,” “Permanent Resident,” and “Spirits and Guests,” explore ideas of displacement and home. Wish You Were Elsewhere features revered Alumni projects, beloved items from the museum’s collection, and debut works from our current staff and fellows - bringing the Elsewhere experience to you. We have carefully selected items from the collection, and the artworks made that embody alternative means of connecting. Without access to the people and things we care for, we have to go somewhere else. This means no one else can enter the museum. In the wake of the global pandemic, we created a COVID-safe residency, Shelter Elsewhere, to further our collaborative potential through a communal living experiment and exchange. Through this satellite exhibition, Wish You Were Elsewhere offers connection with the objects, artworks and people of the museum, at a time where connecting is not easy.
