A.I.R. NYC (Artists in Resistance NYC)
We are a collective of disabled & chronically ill artists, and we’ve created an air purifier library in New York City.
Our goal is simple: support artists, performers and cultural workers in hosting COVID safer, more accessible events in NYC.
Our HEPA air purifier lending library, open to artists, musicians, theater workers, venues, maker spaces, and events of any kind, is free, and prioritizes loans to those in communities most affected by the ongoing pandemic: disabled, Black, Indigenous, people of color, trans, queer, low income people, and those working public-facing jobs.
We join a growing network of volunteer-run action groups offering concrete tools, community education, and harm reduction. We can slow the spread of airborne infection in our city, and we know how to do it–together.
