Get Involved
CUP exists to give creative and talented people opportunities to collaborate and make projects that educate and create change. While the core staff supports the organization from day to day, all CUP projects are designed and implemented by teams of artists, designers, educators, activists, and researchers. If you are interested in participating as a designer, organizer, researcher, advocate, coordinator or volunteering in general, let us know by clicking here. If you are interested in volunteering, send along a volunteer form with your email. Download Volunteer Form

Interns will work on a number of projects in a sustained way and should be able to work with us for at least two months. Interns will conduct research on design technique and urban history, draw, organize information, write grants, build things, and more. You will also work with CUP's collaborative partners (community organizations, teaching artists, volunteers, etc).
This internship is an unpaid position.
To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, and portfolio, if you have one, here.
Opportunities for Teachers
CUP currently has opportunities for creative educators. We strive to create classroom opportunities for teaching artists and designers who view teaching as not just a way to support their practice but as a constituent part of it. If you are interested in teaching with CUP or getting CUP to work in YOUR classroom, see below, call or e-mail Rosten Woo.
Opportunities for Artists & Designers
If you want to make creative work about the social, political and built environment, we'd love to meet you. If you're interested in working on an upcoming project or getting paired with a community-based organization, call or e-mail Valeria Mogilevich.
Grants
Periodically, CUP creates structured opportunities for researchers, writers, artists, designers and activists to collaborate. We have no active calls at this time but check back soon or send us an e-mail to get on our mailing list.
