"CUE Teen Collective (CTC) is a free, year-long after-school program for high school students who are passionate about visual culture and interested in exploring careers in the fine arts. Through the program, students investigate various aspects of the contemporary art world, develop and refine their artmaking and critical thinking skills, and conceptualize and create artwork for a final group exhibition presented at CUE’s gallery space. CTC offers behind-the-scenes access to the New York art world, demystifying career paths in the arts while inspiring students to develop their own personal artistic voices. The program consists of talks with artists and curators, trips to gallery and museum shows, visits to art fairs, hands-on studio sessions, and more. Participants have the opportunity to learn from working arts professionals and build sustainable and rewarding careers of their own in the arts.
Applications are now open for the 2024-25 CUE Teen Collective. The program runs from October 2023 to June 2024. Classes meet once a week on Tuesdays for two hours, with some weeks off for holidays and school breaks."

"Nonprofit organization that uplifts aging adults, caregivers, creatives, and our community through theatre, music, dance, and visual arts. We believe the arts have tremendous power to bring people together and relieve social isolation, fostering a multi-generational and cross- cultural community that reminds people that they matter and are alive for a purpose."

We’re committed to representing marginalized voices within the arts, putting young people of color and LGBTQ+, working-class, and immigrant youth at the center of everything we do. Through teen-led programming, we activate art to promote social justice and imagine new futures.
