About Day With(out) Art
Coinciding with the Word Health Organization’s World AIDS Day, Day With(out) Art recognizes the ongoing AIDS pandemic, encourages education about HIV infection, and celebrates those individuals lost and currently living with HIV.
When introduced in 1989, more than 800 arts organizations, museums, and galleries across the United States covered artworks and dimmed their lights to bring attention to HIV/AIDS. Day With(out) Art has evolved to highlight artists affected by HIV/AIDS and artworks and projects focused on the topic.
In honor of Day With(out) Art, we will be highlighting the work of Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957-1996, Cuba), who passed away from AIDS-related complications. Felix Gonzalez-Torres was an artist and activist. We celebrate Felix Gonzalez-Torres’ honesty and vulnerability with his works that leave space for us to see, think, and feel what is true to our own experience.

Their clinics offer medical, dental, psychological and lifestyle counseling to all patients, regardless of their financial situation, insurance status, or ability to pay.
About Enduring Care
Sarasota Art Museum is proud to partner with Visual AIDS for Day With(out) Art 2021 by presenting ENDURING CARE, a video program highlighting strategies of community care within the ongoing HIV epidemic. The program features newly commissioned work by Katherine Cheairs, Cristóbal Guerra, Danny Kilbride, Abdul-Aliy A. Muhammad and Uriah Bussey, Beto Pérez, Steed Taylor, and J Triangular and the Women’s Video Support Project.
From histories of harm reduction and prison activism to the long-term effects of HIV medication, ENDURING CARE centers stories of collective care, mutual aid, and solidarity while pointing to the negligence of governments and non-profits. The program’s title suggests a dual meaning, honoring the perseverance and commitment of care workers yet also addressing the potential for harm from medications and healthcare providers. ENDURING CARE disrupts the assumption that an epidemic can be solved with pharmaceuticals alone, recasting community work as a lasting form of medicine.
