This program provides one deserving curator the necessary time and resources to realize an innovative project, with the aim of encouraging curatorial research in tandem with exhibition planning. CUE will provide institutional guidance to the curator, who will produce a group exhibition in CUE’s space with related public programming and an accompanying exhibition catalogue in July 2015. Curator will be awarded a $1,000 unrestricted stipend and an exhibition budget of $4,000. CUE will contribute up to $1500 toward shipping expenses and up to $4000 for catalogue production.


Proposals will be evaluated on merit of project, singularity of concept, and adherence to the guidelines below. Please note: proposed artists must live or work in the United States. Please review the guidelines and your application materials closely. All applications submitted will be considered final and treated as such. You will not, under any circumstances, be permitted to add to or edit your application once it has been submitted. All incomplete or duplicate applications will be immediately disqualified.

GUIDELINES FOR PROPOSAL:


1. Proposals must be conceptually rigorous and focus on artists, projects, and themes that are innovative, challenging, and engaging. The majority of artists proposed must qualify as under-recognized (no gallery representation and no solo exhibitions in a major venue within the last ten years).


2. Extra consideration will be given to proposals that clearly demonstrate a unique and creative approach to both research methods and the exhibition plan, and those that present ideas or topics not well represented in the commercial sector.


3. The proposal must include four or more artists, half of whom must qualify as under-recognized. Curators may not include their own work in the exhibition.


4. Extra consideration will be given to applicants in the beginning stages of their curatorial careers.


5. CUE strongly encourages applications that contribute to our ongoing commitment to diversity.


 


SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS:


1. An exhibition proposal up to 1000 words that outlines both the background and plan for the exhibition

3. At least one image per artist, or up to one minute of video per artist for video and time-based work
