JOIN OUR COMMUNITY OF SUPPORTERS!
Supporting CUE allows you to directly contribute to our robust programs that uplift emerging and underrecognized artists, connecting them with the resources, mentorship, and community they need to thrive. With your help, we can continue to showcase bold new work, foster peer-to-peer relationships, and educate a diverse next generation of artists.
As part of our newly launched membership program, CUE offers membership levels for both artists and supporters that provide special opportunities and benefits such as professional development and advisory sessions, exclusive events and studio visits, chances to connect with our network, and access to artwork, merchandise, and catalogues.
CUE’s deep commitment to artists makes our opportunities unique in the field. Join us in shaping a vibrant future for the arts by exploring ways to give below.
DONATE
Donate to CUE and support authentic and deeply engaged opportunities for artists who challenge our collective notion of what’s possible, viable, saleable, proven, or other such indicators of success associated with systems that we all know are far from perfect. The hundreds of shows CUE has presented over the past two decades comprise an extraordinarily diverse community of artists, writers, students, curators, designers, and others from vastly different backgrounds engaged in creative and intellectual work that is varied in medium, process, concept, and so much more.
Your support, at any level, directly funds artist programs, honoraria, and expenses that allow CUE’s opportunities for emerging and underrepresented artists to be unparalleled and exceptionally resonant to the community we serve.
MEMBERSHIP
Join CUE’s membership program to receive exclusive benefits and to contribute to our work to impact the careers and livelihoods of emerging and underrepresented artists. Membership supports our mission and programs while allowing individuals and groups to gain access to a vibrant network of artists, peers, and supporters, as well as programming and opportunities available only to members.
Your membership grants you special benefits such as: professional development and advisory sessions; private events, walkthroughs, and studio visits; access to and discounts on artwork and merchandise; opportunities to connect with exhibiting and alumni artists and curators, and more.
