CUE
Art Foundation is currently seeking Curatorial Project and Solo
Exhibition proposals for the 2016 exhibition season. CUE’s Open Calls
provide one deserving curator and one emerging artist the necessary
resources to realize an innovative project/exhibition at CUE's
storefront location in 2016.
A panel of established curators will select the winners of both Open Calls and serve as mentors to the finalists throughout the exhibition planning process. CUE provides institutional guidance, a stipend, shipping budget, and an accompanying exhibition catalogue featuring an essay written by a participant in CUE’s Young Art Critic Mentoring Program.
