Community Cultural Hub: Rethinking CUE
The traditional gallery space is under scrutiny. There is a growing emergence of new and innovative ways artists share their work with the public, outside the commercial sphere. Additionally, collectivism and community outreach have become imperative to the survival and success of many artists’ creative practice. Recognizing the relevance of these current trends, CUE’s inaugural open call seeks proposals that utilize CUE’s space through rethinking the gallery’s function as a site for cultural exchange and re-evaluating the artists’ and the public’s role in a traditional exhibition space. Proposals must seek to utilize the gallery space in a non-traditional manner, address a wider audience than the regular, gallery-going public, and promote the activity of artists over the art object. Keeping in line with the spirit of inclusivity, proposals may not be for solo exhibitions; submissions must involve more than one artist in some manner.
This theme is kept purposely broad by the organization, in hope that this will open the door for a wide variety of interpretations and ideas. As is core to our mission, CUE trusts that those immersed within their creative communities always provide the most interesting and enriching perspectives and ideas.
