Social Practice City University of New York (SPCUNY) will close in February 2027 as co-directors Chloë Bass and Gregory Sholette depart from their academic positions. Founded in 2021, SPCUNY aimed to support social justice artists across CUNY's campuses, granting fellowships and project awards totaling $535,000. The project was not formally integrated into the university system, and with the departure of its directors, there is no clear path for its continuation despite funding from the Mellon Foundation.
