A.I.R. Gallery will hold its annual postcard show, Wish You Were Here, from July 5 through August 3, 2025. We invite artists to participate by donating a postcard-sized work (4 x 6 inches) in any medium relating to any topic or theme. Each original work will be sold for $45 and proceeds will benefit A.I.R. Gallery’s mission to advance the status of women and non-binary artists.
 

Submissions must be dropped off at or mailed to A.I.R. Gallery (155 Plymouth Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201) no later than June 25, 2025 to be included. Please note that donated artworks will not be returned following the close of the exhibition so please take this into account when choosing what to submit.
