Founded in 1988 by arts professionals as a response to the effects
of AIDS on the arts community and as a way of organizing artists, arts
institutions, and arts audiences towards direct action, Visual AIDS has evolved
a two-part mission. 1) Through the Frank Moore Archive Project, the largest
slide library of work by artists living with HIV and the estates of artists who
have died of AIDS, Visual AIDS historicizes the contributions of visual artists
with HIV while supporting their ability to continue making art and furthering
their professional careers. 2) In collaboration with museums, galleries,
artists, schools, and AIDS service and advocacy organizations, Visual AIDS
produces exhibitions, publications, and events utilizing visual art to spread
the message "AIDS IS NOT OVER." www.visualAIDS.org
I'm a dark hours of the morning person at my age (78). I'll try my very best to be there -just to walk over around 8:30 PM and say hello.
I much appreciate you guys and all you've done.
