CUE Art Foundation is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit forum for
contemporary art and cultural exchange that provides
opportunities and resources for under-recognized artists.
We value the astonishing diversity of creativity that
artists provide and the importance of their activity in
the social context of the city.
CUE provides artists, students, scholars and art
professionals resources at many stages of their
careers and creative lives. Our programs include
exhibitions, publications, professional development
seminars, educational outreach, symposia, readings and
performances. Since 2002, we have operated from our
4,500 square foot storefront venue in the heart
of New York’s Chelsea Arts District.
CUE exhibiting artists are chosen by their peers who are
themselves selected by a rotating advisory council from
across the country. This pluralistic process ensures that
CUE consistently offers diverse viewpoints from multiple
disciplines of artistic practice.
Simply put, we give artists their CUE to take center stage
in the challenging world of art.
