97 Wooster Street, Co-op Gallery for Women’s Art
In 1972, 20 women opened A.I.R. Gallery to exhibit women’s art at a time when the preponderance of art in galleries was by white men. No one single person would run this gallery. Disagreement among members became part of the discourse. Together they turned a squalid storefront into a proper gallery. On Monday nights, when other galleries were closed, they held public panels and events. A.I.R. moved to 63 Crosby St. in 1981. Today the gallery is still thriving in Brooklyn.
