About Day With(out) Art
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.

From navigating sex and intimacy to confronting stigma and isolation, Being & Belonging centers the emotional realities of living with HIV today. How does living with HIV shift the ways that a person experiences, asks for, or provides love, support, and belonging? The seven videos are a call for belonging from those that have been stigmatized within their communities or left out of mainstream HIV/AIDS narratives.
Being & Belonging will screen in over 100 museums, universities, and arts organizations worldwide beginning December 1, 2022, Day With(out) Art / World AIDS Day.
