In 2019—recognizing the ongoing need for opportunities for artists to have the freedom, time, and physical space to innovate, take risks, and workshop ideas, the co-founders of Uncharted, Jennie Wasserman and Rachel Black created an artists-in-residence career development program embedded within Greenwich House Music School.

With generous support from the Baisley Powell Elebash Fund, each resident artist receives rehearsal space, production support, and compensation for rehearsal time. Each Elebash residency culminates in an Uncharted concert in the 90-seat GHMS recital hall, where Elebash artists-in-residence present their work.

To identify unique and diverse voices from New York’s vibrant artistic community, Wasserman and Black created the New York Presenters Consortium (NYPC) to advise on the selection of Elebash artists-in-residence. NYPC is a network of arts presenters and organizations, designed to leverage their collective resources in support of artists developing their work. The Consortium now includes Joe’s Pub, David Rubenstein Atrium at Lincoln Center, National Sawdust, and Bryant Park.

After the Uncharted concert series, which takes place each Spring, artists have the opportunity to present the work they developed during their Elebash residency at Consortium partner venues, with the aim of developing evergreen programs that can sustain not only the individuals’ creative output, but also improve the health of the NYC cultural ecosystem.

Check out these highlights from the 2019 Uncharted season.

This program is supported, in part, by public funds from The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs in partnership with the City Council and by the New York State Council on the Arts with the support of Governor Kathy Hochul and the New York State Legislature.

The Uncharted Residency Program is made possible by The Baisley Powell Elebash Fund.
