Founded in 1972, A.I.R. Gallery is the first artist-run, not-for-profit contemporary art gallery for women artists in the country. As an early alternative space, A.I.R. served as a catalyst for the women's art movement and a modle for other artists and arts organizations. As art critic Holland Cotter recently wrote in the New York Times, "Most of the interesting American artists of the last 10 years are as interesting as they are in part because of the feminist art movement of the early 1970's. It changed everything... What art in the next 30 years will look like I don't know, but feminist influences will be at its source." 

A.I.R. Gallery currently has two exciting opportunities available for women artists! Please see below for more information.

A.I.R. FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM: 18-month professional development program with solo show opportunity for women in the NYC area.
Panelists: Lowery Stokes-Sims, Curator, Museum of Art and Design; Harriet Senie, Art Critic and Art Historian; and Catherine Morris, Curator of the Elizabeth Sackler Center for Feminist Art at The Brooklyn Museum.

APPLICATION DEADLINE: October 31, 2009.
