Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space

Cuchifritos Gallery is a central program of the non-profit Artists Alliance Inc. AAI fosters the forward-thinking and experimental practices of emerging and underrepresented artists and curators with funded residencies and paid exhibition opportunities. Our artist-centered programming provides a free and accessible platform to produce, experience, and understand contemporary art in the Lower East Side, a longstanding epicenter for creative experimentation and cultural diversity. Through three initiatives-Cuchifritos Gallery + Project Space, LES Studio Program, Public Works-we advocate for art-making that challenges how we experience ourselves and our communities.

We are grateful to have inherited this work from our founding artists and are proud to be celebrating over 25 years of dedication to the practices of culture workers.
