A Day Without Art

Dec 01, 2010

All day

Across campus

Free

University Museums Arts, performances Special events

On Dec. 1, 1989, loss as a result of HIV & AIDS prompted artists in New York to organize the first Day Without Art. Some galleries closed their doors in mourning for the day or shrouded paintings. Now, years later, AIDS continues to inflict a heavy toll in every community, and we continue to remember friends and loved ones on December 1 by shrouding selections from the Art on Campus Collection. A Day Without Art reminds us to vow an end to AIDS.
