"Art&Aids: Loving Life" Exhibition
Leslie-Lohman Museum of Gay and Lesbian Art
This event has ended.
The Leslie/Lohman Gay Art Foundation will donate its gallery, for a second year, to host, "Art & AIDS: Loving Life," an exhibition featuring close to 50 artists living with HIV/AIDS. Over 130 works of art, utilizing diverse media, will be on display through October 30.
The exhibition is an outcome of work from weekly therapeutic art classes as part of GMHC's Volunteer, Work and Wellness Center. Art teachers donate their time to teach classes for GMHC's clients (consisting of professional and non-professional artists), and assist in curating the annual exhibition. The artists are able to sell their artwork which increases financial independence, particularly for those who live on a limited income.
At the opening reception on October 26, members of the Imperial Court of New York, a longstanding group that raises funds for community-based organizations, will be volunteering their time to greet guests as part of the festivities. Also, several of the artists have donated art work for a silent auction as a way of giving back to GMHC.
