The mission of CUNY Stages is to organize the resources, talents, and shared goals of the 16 represented performing arts centers throughout the City University of New York (CUNY) system. In so doing, CUNY Stages will facilitate multi-disciplinary artistic collaborations amongst its members that will foster participation and creativity through the integration of the performing arts into campus life and the surrounding communities. CUNY Stages is committed to encouraging and supporting artistic excellence at the local and international level, promoting audience and artist diversity, and providing affordable access to the arts by sharing information and leveraging financial support. CUNY Stages also aims to facilitate an ongoing dialogue between arts practitioners and contemporary scholars who regularly engage with their work.

The CUNY Performance Art Presenter consists of 24 stages on 14 campuses in the Bronx, Brooklyn, Harlem, Manhattan, Queens, and Staten Island. Founded in 1847, CUNY is the largest urban public university in the United States with 23 institutions. Supporting together with SUNY a population of 19,8 million in New York State, CUNY serves more than 270,000 degree-credit students and continuing and professional education students. The university has one of the most diverse student bodies in the United States, with students hailing from 208 countries, but mostly from New York City. The black, white, and Hispanic undergraduate populations each comprise more than a quarter of the student body, and Asian undergraduates make up 18 percent.
