Overview:
Join the vibrant Lower East Side arts community by volunteering at Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space! Located inside the historic Essex Street Market, Cuchifritos offers a unique opportunity to support emerging and underrepresented artists in a dynamic, public-facing environment.
As a volunteer, you'll engage directly with visitors, assist with gallery operations, and deepen your understanding of how non-profit art spaces function-while becoming part of a community rooted in collaboration, experimentation, and care.
About Us:
Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space is committed to supporting artists and curators whose work challenges conventional ideas and engages with urgent questions of ethics, immigration, ecology, and social power. Situated within a working market, our gallery offers a distinctive platform for artists and audiences to meet outside traditional art venues-and our volunteers are vital to keeping that space alive and open.

Responsibilities Include:
Opening and closing the gallery
Greeting visitors and sharing information about the exhibition
