A.I.R. Gallery is pleased to offer a new opportunity: OPEN A.I.R. 2009. We invite all women artists, curators and other art professionals to submit curatorial proposals for a one-month exhibit to be held at A.I.R. Gallery in Gallery II and/or III during the 2009-2010 season.

DEADLINE: Proposals must be postmarked or hand delivered to the gallery on or before July 1, 2009 at 6pm. Proposals submitted online must be received by 11pm on July 1, 2009.

Art critic Carey Lovelace wrote in Art in America in 2007: “Since 1972, the trailblazing A.I.R. Gallery in New York, the world’s first women’s art gallery, has provided quiet support for those operating outside the art world’s market-obsessed precincts.” In October 2008, A.I.R. opened a new, expanded space at 111 Front Street in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn. Each year, A.I.R. holds more than twenty month-long solo exhibitions and at least four month-long curated group exhibits in its three gallery spaces. In addition, the gallery hosts a range of public programs and workshops. Artists working in a variety of media, at various points in their professional development make up our New York Artists, National Members and Fellowship Artists. OPEN A.I.R. will continue the gallery’s mission – to exhibit work of quality and diversity by women and to provide leadership and community to women artists and art professionals.

GUIDELINES & ELIGIBILITY: Proposals must include at least 50% women artists. All women worldwide, regardless of age, curatorial experience, or place of residence are encouraged to apply. Artists may choose to include their own work in the exhibition. Work in all media and materials may be submitted. Exhibitions must include two or more artists. Artists are encouraged to include one or more A.I.R. Artists in their exhibition (see Artists section) Gallery floor plans are available HERE
APPLICATION PROCESS:

* Fill out contact information.
* Submit an exhibition proposal of 750 words or less.
* Submit five (5) images of work by artists to be included in the exhibit. More than one image may be included for an artist, but the total number of images in the application package may not exceed five.
* Submit your bio or resume.
* Enclose SASE if you would like your materials returned (not for online application).
* Enclose $30 Application Processing Fee.

COMMITMENT & BENEFITS: A.I.R. will publicize the exhibit and produce an announcement card or pamphlet. The curator is responsible for writing a press release with the assistance of the gallery director, being present during the installation and de-installation of the exhibit and for giving a talk during the show. A.I.R. does not provide travel costs for artists or curators, but, depending on the availability of funds, the curator may receive up to $500.

SELECTION & NOTIFICATION PROCESS: A.I.R. Gallery’s New York Artists and the Gallery Director will select the exhibition proposal to be realized in the gallery. Proposals will be judged primarily on the quality of the work submitted and the written curatorial proposal. A second finalist’s proposal will be realized in virtual form on A.I.R.’s website during the 2009-2010 season. Artists and curators will be notified of the selected exhibition(s) by email before August 1, 2009.

IMAGE GUIDELINES:

Students and photographers age 24 and under are eligible to apply to the Ian Parry Scholarship, which awards £3,000 to support a photo assignment. The deadline to enter is June 24.

Here’s the full announcement from the Ian Parry Scholarship:

The Ian Parry Scholarship 2009 deadline is Wednesday 24th June 2009.

All applications must be digital. The FTP instructions and application form will be available from www.ianparry.org

Ian Parry was a photojournalist who died whilst on assignment for the Sunday Times during the Romanian revolution in 1989. He was just 24 years old. The Scholarship was set up by Ian’s friends and family in order to build something positive from such a tragic death.

Each year we hold a competition for photographers who are either attending a full-time recognized photography course or who are 24 years old and under.

Entrants must submit:

- A digital portfolio of 12 images to our FTP, following our guidelines
- An application form
- A brief synopsis of a project they would undertake if they won the award

The prize is £3,000 towards an assignment and £500 to those awarded highly commended and commended.

Our 2009 jury is so far confirmed as: Don McCullin Patron, Tom Stoddart Trustee, Eugene Richards and Ian’s family.

Judging will be held on the 3rd July at the Frontline Club in London www.frontlineclub.com.

As you can imagine this is a significant prize for a photographer and coupled with the continued support of The Sunday Times Magazine, which publishes the winner’s work, the scholarship provides an excellent launch into a professional photography career. Year after year, the award has highlighted the work of some of the industry’s finest emerging talent, all of whom have progressed into professional careers and still support the award.

We are delighted to announce that World Press Photo have again agreed to automatically accept the winner onto their final list of nominees for the Joop Swart Masterclass in Amsterdam. This is because of so many of our previous winners having attended this prestigious event in recent years.

Once again, our extremely popular and well-attended print exhibition will take place in London at the Getty Images Gallery. The exhibition will run for one week from the 5th August 2009.

Our key sponsors are The Sunday Times, Getty Images and Canon. Our thanks to all our other sponsors and the Frontline Club, British Journal of Photography and the Getty Gallery for their generous support.
