A.I.R. Gallery (Artists in Residence) Is the first all female artists cooperative gallery in the United States.[1] It was founded in 1972 with the objective of providing a professional and permanent exhibition space for women artists during a time in which the works shown at commercial galleries in New York City were almost exclusively by male artists. A.I.R. is a not-for-profit, self-underwritten arts organization in which the New York artist members serve as the board of directors. The gallery was originally located in SoHo at 97 Wooster Street, and was located on 111 Front Street in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn until 2015. In May 2015, A.I.R. Gallery moved to its current location at 155 Plymouth St, Brooklyn, NY 11201.

A.I.R. Gallery served as a prototype for other alternative galleries in the United States.
