Throughout her career, Barbara Zucker has worked to provide a strong network of support amongst women artists. Along with fellow A.I.R. founding member Susan Williams, Zucker decided to form A.I.R. as a way to combat the underrepresentation of emerging artists--primarily women--in the heavily male-dominated New York gallery world at the time. Zucker’s aim was to create a professional work environment in which women artists could show their work in a space where their artistic careers are taken seriously. By 1972, A.I.R. had become a tangible reality; the founding members took up residence at 97 Wooster, and many women artists who had previously been denied gallery representation now had a platform with which to exhibit their experimental, genre-bending, and multimedia works of art to a wide audience.

Zucker would continue to curate exhibitions at A.I.R. beyond her years as a member. One such exhibition, a 2004 show titled Aftermath that later traveled to the Fleming Museum at the University of Vermont, showcased sculptural work by Wendy Hirschberg and paintings by Leigh Burton. I
