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 Yorks Chelsea Arts District.

CUE exhibiting artists are chosen by their peers and a

rotating group of advisors and curators 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.
