Call for artists: "Mother/mother" exhibit

A.I.R. Gallery, a nonprofit gallery space in Brooklyn, N.Y., advocating for women in the visual arts since 1972, invites artists working in all media to submit artwork to be considered for its fall 2009 exhibition “Mother/mother.” Curator Jennifer Wrobleski is seeking work (by women and men) made during a pregnancy or within five years of the birth of the artist’s child. Submissions need not be specifically about parenting or childbirth, though the curator is particularly interested in work resulting from changes in artistic processes or new thematic concerns that arise out of pregnancy. Proposals must be postmarked or hand delivered to the gallery on or before July 1, 2009 at 6 p.m., and online submissions must be received on July 1 by 11 p.m.. A downloadable application is available here.
