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.

On December 1, 1989, loss as a result of HIV and AIDS prompted artists in New York to organize the first A Day Without Art. Some galleries closed their doors in mourning for the day or shrouded paintings. Theaters were silent and dark. Communities across the nation observed A Day Without Art with silence.
