I need your help! In an attempt to move beyond "A Day without Art" - an initiative that many international art museums observe in commemoration of AIDS victims - I am working with the AAM AIDS Network leaders to identify museums that work with HIV+ communities (people who are now living with HIV), or organizations that serve those communities, to assist them with raising awareness and/or funds through programming and/or fundraising events. Does any institution come to mind? Thanks for your assistance! John T.
