A.I.R. Gallery’s National Artists Program was founded in 1981 to expand A.I.R.’s feminist mission to communities outside of New York City. The National Members form a network of care, support, and opportunity through collaboration and the forging of alliances.

During the program, artists exhibit annually in a curated group show and can apply without fees to juried exhibitions hosted at A.I.R. All National Artists are represented on the gallery website, have access to the gallery’s extensive mailing list, and have the opportunity to be involved in artist-led events, including group studio visits.

Applicants must live in the United States but outside of New York City, must not have previously been an A.I.R National Artist, and be willing to commit for four-years.

Applications will be reviewed in July and selections will be announced late August.
