Compass Community Center is currently accepting submissions of artwork from local artists
for a curated group exhibition to commemorate World AIDS Day from December 1st
through December 11th. We invite visual artists in diverse mediums (painting,
drawing, printing, photography, murals, collage and more) to donate artwork
related to, or inspired by, the HIV/AIDS pandemic. The work will be auctioned
at our opening exhibit of the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt on
December 2, 2015. We are accepting work that communicates a clear message on
the theme. The event will showcase the work of local artists, as well as,
support HIV/AIDS education and prevention efforts in the local community.
Art has been an effective
mechanism to inspire deep and lasting social change. Our goal is to elicit new
actions, provoke new dialogue, and catalyze new ideas that facilitate social
change as it relates to HIV/AIDS. We look forward to each invited artist
submitting a piece that will reflect the ability of art to promote respect,
love, and change in the battle against HIV/AIDS, as well as celebrate the
talent of all contributing artists.The intention of this event is to:
Commemorate the loss of
artists and arts professionals Create greater awareness about the spread of
HIV/AIDS Publicize the needs of people with HIV/AIDS
Event Details:
On December 1st Compass will
host Day With(out) Art (more information about Day With(out) Art below) in
which all pieces in the exhibit will be shrouded in black fabric. On December
2nd we will celebrate with the Unveiling of Art and Artist Reception for
NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt. We will hold an auction of donated
pieces, enjoy a live performance by Palm Beach Opera, and a wine reception.
Selected artists will be provided with a 6 foot table to display/sell their
artwork. Artists will provide their own displays (i.e. easels) and tablecloths.

An International Day of
Action and Mourning in response to the AIDS Crisis
In 1989, in response to the
worsening AIDS crisis and coinciding with the World Health Organization’s
second annual World AIDS Day on December 1, Visual AIDS organized the first Day
Without Art. A Visual AIDS committee of art workers (curators, writers, and art
professionals) sent out a call for “mourning and action in response to the AIDS
crisis” that would celebrate the lives and achievements of lost colleagues and
friends; encourage caring for all people with AIDS; educating diverse publics
about HIV infection; and finding a cure. More than 800 arts organizations,
museums and galleries throughout the U.S. participated by shrouding artworks
and replacing them with information about HIV and safer sex, locking their
doors or dimming their lights, and producing exhibitions, programs, readings,
memorials, rituals, and performances. Visual AIDS coordinated this network
megaevent by producing a poster and handling promotion and press relations
