The numbers are in and STRIKE II, the third annual Visual AIDS
Vanguard Award ceremony and spring benefit broke records in
fundraising, attendance and artists' participation! A resounding
success on all fronts, we raised over $68,000, which will directly
support our ongoing work utilizing the visual arts to keep an emphasis
on the AIDS pandemic, as well as offer direct services to artists
living with HIV/AIDS.
