2025 open call for curatorial projects

CUE’s open call for curatorial projects is now accepting applications! The open call builds upon CUE’s mission to support emerging and underrepresented artists and arts workers. The selected curator will be awarded an opportunity to gain experience in curatorial practice and exhibition-making by organizing a group exhibition at CUE’s gallery space during the 2025 calendar year.

Additionally, for each show at our gallery space, CUE produces an accompanying exhibition catalogue with a long-form essay commissioned through our Art Critic Mentorship Program, written by an independent emerging writer. The catalogue also contains curator, artist, and mentor statements, bios, and images of the work.

CUE seeks to support emerging and underrepresented artists and arts workers with meaningful opportunities that help to advance their careers, and to present work that challenges public perceptions and that has been less visible in commercial and institutional venues. We encourage all those whose background and practice resonate with this mission to apply.
