2024-2025 PHOTO URBANISM FELLOW

2024-2025 Photo Urbanism Call for Fellows
We are looking for photographers to apply for the 2024-2025 Photo Urbanism Fellowship to contribute with their unique lenses about an equitable water future for New York. Water is one of our most important and impactful assets. An Equitable Water Future must recognize that the health of the city’s public life depends on managing the risks of—and benefits of—New York as a water city, including commitment to innovative green infrastructure, well-planned coastal resilience, sustainable buildings, and cultural vibrancy.

Freestyle 2.0

During our August group show last year, we featured an open theme that resonated deeply with our artists, leading to the display of truly inspiring artworks on our platform and in NYC. We are very excited to give the floor to you this August once again! ”Freestyle” means that there are no limitations on the theme, style or technique. This online group show is all about your freedom and expression so show us your best artwork! While the theme is open you’ll be judged by your artwork’s originality, style, technique, artistry and the quality of your Artist Bio and Artist Statement.

Open Calls for Artists and Curators

CUE’s annual open call provides emerging and underrepresented artists and curators the opportunity and necessary resources to realize an exhibition at CUE’s storefront gallery space on West 25th Street in Manhattan, New York City.

Each year, the open call awards three opportunities for solo exhibitions and one opportunity to organize a curatorial group show at CUE. Each awardee will be paired with a mentor, an established artist or curator who will work with them throughout the process of conceptualizing and planning their exhibition. 

Summer of ´24

Our July Online Group Art Show: “Summer of ´24”

In the realm of art, the summer season has always been a wellspring of inspiration, captivating artists from all mediums and styles. Its vivid colors, textures, and a myriad of emotions evoke a sense of joy and wonder and as the days stretch lazily and the golden sun illuminates our surroundings, we find ourselves immersed in leisurely moments with friends and family, adventurous travels, vibrant festivals, bustling markets and the many culinary delights of this season. In our July group show ”Summer of ´24” we encourage our artists to visually share their summer plans with us and our audience. Let us celebrate the warmth, vibrancy, and creativity that summer brings.

May Flowers

As a way to welcome the arrival of Spring, our May group art show ”May Flowers” seeks to celebrate flowers, their beauty, and rich historical significance in various cultures worldwide.

Throughout history, humans have used flowers to communicate their emotions and to commemorate various occasions. The beauty and fleeting nature of flowers and the diverse cultural associations and symbolism attached to them have served as an inspiration to many great artists from Vincent Van Gogh to Maria Sibylla Merian. This group show showcases how flowers have remained an emblem of beauty and significance in both art and human culture over the ages. We encourage our artists to explore various interpretations of flowers and their significance in the art world.

A Window at A Space

Windows as subjects have been celebrated in human activities in arts, literature, and architecture for their aesthetic structure, cultural symbolism, and symbolic significance. They serve as a threshold between spaces, bridging the divide between the natural and artificial, the physical and the digital, and the real and the representational. They frame the passage of time, inviting us to reflect on the cyclical nature of existence and the ephemerality of moments in our surroundings. A Window at A Space calls for artists to submit works that serve as extensions of the mundanity of the window. Leveraging the gallery space, this show aims to foster dialogues between individuals and shared experiences on the artistic interpretation of windows.
