Wish You Were Here 12 : A.I.R Gallery’s Postcard Show

Earlier this week I donated a piece of art to help raise funds for the A.I.R Gallery. The Artists in Residents Gallery is celebrating 40 years of advocating for women in the visual arts. They are a Not-for-Profit Organization.

A.I.R. Mission Statement: In 1972, a group of women artists founded A.I.R. (Artists in Residence) Gallery, the first artists-run gallery for women in the United States. A.I.R.’s goal is to provide a professional and permanent exhibition space for women artists to present work of quality and diversity. A.I.R. is an artist directed and maintained gallery, providing a sense of community for women and serving as a model for other alternative galleries and organizations. Through lectures, symposia and a Fellowship Program for emerging women artists, A.I.R. Gallery sustains a political awareness and voice, and brings new understanding to old attitudes about women in the arts.  (From the A.I.R. website)

Submission requests were for a single 4 x 6 postcard. Each will be sold for $45 and proceeds will  help to fund Gallery programs. The annual show will run from June 27th – July 21, at  111 Front street in Brooklyn, New York. This is my first piece shown in a gallery, and I am honored that it might help to benefit others.
