Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space

Mission Statement

Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space is a program of Artists Alliance Inc (AAI), a 501c3 not for profit organization located on the Lower East Side. We provide exhibition opportunities to hundreds of independent curators and emerging underrepresented artists. The gallery's location inside the Essex Street Market creates a distinct opportunity to directly engage with the local community about contemporary art. AAI is interested in promoting contemporary artwork in all media, to be shown within a local community setting, though we do not promote community-based art. We seek exhibitions featuring the work of emerging and underrepresented contemporary artists and the curators who seek to exhibit these artists work in a clear and concise context. In addition, we are particularly interested in exhibits that may relate to the Essex Market or Lower East Side area.
