> WORLD AIDS DAY:  DECEMBER 1

World AIDS Day is about getting involved so that everyone can make a difference in the global fight against HIV and AIDS.

It's about people from different and diverse backgrounds pulling together, in the same direction, to inform and educate people of all ages about HIV and AIDS.

> DAY WITHOUT ART:  DECEMBER 1

Day Without Art began in 1989 as the national day of action and mourning in response to the AIDS crisis. To make the public aware that AIDS can touch everyone, and inspire positive action, some 800 U.S. art and AIDS groups participated in the first Day Without Art, shutting down museums, sending staff to volunteer at AIDS services, or sponsoring special exhibitions of work about AIDS. Since then, Day With(out) Art has grown into a collaborative project in which an estimated 8,000 museums, galleries, art centers, AIDS Service Organizations, libraries, high schools and colleges take part on both the national and international levels.
