A.I.R. Gallery: The History Show

Archival Materials from 1972 to the Present
September 16 - December 12, 2008
Tracey/Barry Gallery, Bobst Library 3rd Floor

A.I.R. Gallery was founded in 1972 as the first artist-run, not-for-profit gallery for women artists in the United States. The goals of A.I.R. are accomplished primarily through their exhibition programs: solo shows of Gallery Artists, sponsored solo shows for Fellowship Artists, group shows of National Artists, invitational solo shows through the Gallery II Program, and group shows designed to include a broader community of women artists such as the "Generations" invitational series and juried Biennial Exhibitions. The gallery also meets its mission by addressing topics of general concern to the public through lectures and symposia; by bringing the work of its exhibiting artists to the awareness of museums, collectors and critics; by working with interns and volunteers; and by making its archive of materials documenting the 30+ years history of A.I.R. available to the public.

Opening reception: Tuesday, September 16, 2008; 6PM - 8PM

The exhibition is free and open to the public

Fragments from the Downtown scene, 1975-Present

The Downtown website is an attempt to provide quality online information about the Downtown New York Scene from 1975 to the present. It is based on materials in the Downtown New York Collection at the Fales Library of New York University. The Downtown Collection is the only collection of its kind at a major research university. The goal of the collection is to document the Downtown scene and to preserve and make available for research the materials produced by the artists, writers, performers, and others who worked downtown. The website will continue to grow as the collection does.
