Visual AIDS
Visual AIDS utilizes art to fight AIDS by provoking dialogue, supporting HIV+ artists, and preserving a legacy, because AIDS is not over.
Day Without Art
On December 1st 1989, the World Health Organization (WHO) observed its second annual World AIDS Day. That same day, Visual AIDS began another day of remembrance, Day Without Art. As a day of mourning, more than 800 arts organizations, museums, and galleries in the U.S. shrouded artworks and replaced them with information about HIV or closed their doors. Both Day Without Art and World AIDS Day continue today. See Visual AIDS documentation of how artists and arts institutions have responded over the years.
