First, our thanks. To everyone who has loved this work alongside us, helped us bring some of India’s finest artists to the stage, and filled the seats at our gatherings in Chandigarh — you are why the lights stay on. As Elsewhere grows, we hope you’ll keep walking with us, and in doing so, hold up artists who need holding up in a thin season for the arts.

We’re opening a small annual membership for those who feel it the way we do. It makes you a guest of honour at all we do — free entry everywhere, ticketed nights included, a seat at the front, the artists within reach, a place at the smaller and more intimate evenings, and a genuine hand in shaping the year ahead. Sponsorship carries most of what we make; your membership is what lets us gamble on forms we’ve never tried.
