World AIDS Day
http://www.barnesjewishcollege.edu/bjconahcontent.asp?id=6249
On December 1, the Goldfarb School of Nursing at Barnes-Jewish College will
unveil sections of the AIDS Memorial Quilt in honor of World AIDS Day. The
quilt will be available for public viewing at the Goldfarb School of Nursing
lobby the entire week of December 1-5 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
The AIDS Memorial Quilt consists of 40,000 colorful panels each
commemorating the life of a person lost to AIDS. Each section measures
approximately 12 feet square and a typical block consists of eight
individual three-foot by six-foot panels sewn together. The idea was
conceived in 1985 by long-time San Francisco gay rights activist Cleve
Jones, and is now maintained by the NAMES Project Foundation. The quilt is
the largest community arts project in the world.
The exhibit is coordinated by the Barnes-Jewish Hospital Foundation's Arts +
Healthcare Program.
In addition to the quilt, the Goldfarb School of Nursing is honoring World
AIDS Day on its campus. The event is open and free to the public.
