A.I.R. Gallery Fellowship Program

Founded in 1972, A.I.R. Gallery is the first artist-run, not-for-profit 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 model 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 30 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.” Building on A.I.R.’s historical influence on contemporary art, the Fellowship Program provides visible gallery space while focusing on building relationships with other more experienced artists, art professionals and collectors. A panel of outside reviewers will select participants. Panelists will visit the individual artists’ studios in preparation for their solo shows. Each participating artist, in addition to their solo show, will work with the gallery artists to staff gallery programs and activities. Fellowship recipients will also plan and implement a public program or special project for the gallery during their eighteen-month tenure. Artists accepted to the program receive the following benefits:

1. Sponsored membership at A.I.R. Gallery from March 2010 to July 2011;
2. A solo exhibition in the Fellowship Gallery during membership;
3. Printing and mailing of exhibition announcement cards;
4. Participation in membership-based exhibitions;
5. Access to the gallery space, resources and career development assistance during program tenure;
6. One-on-one studio visit with panelist

1. Work with A.I.R. Gallery to assist in planning and staffing gallery projects;
2. Gallery sit one 3.5 hour session each month of participation in program (not including August);

Gallery II’s program do not make an artist ineligible)’

The Summer Show Project offers the unique chance for artists to work directly with the gallery, creating new work to be curated in a group exhibition.

Upon acceptance, you will work on your own and with the guidance of gallery owner Michael Foley to create new work dedicated to a theme that will be suggested by the curatorial panel. A total of 12 photographers will be selected by the panel to participate.

From January to April you will meet with Michael Foley either in the gallery or via iChat/Skype for two 30 minute sessions where you can discuss your progress and share what you have been working on.

In May, a final edit will be made and two photographs from each photographer will be curated into a group exhibition at FOLEYgallery opening in June 2010. In addition to the work of these 12 photographers, additional selections will be curated into the show from some of the most well known contemporary photographers working today.

This is the first year for The summer Show Project. We invite you to submit your work to participate in this unique opportunity and share the experience of exposure, guidance, feedback, community, recognition and support.
