Positive Art for Positive Women

I believe that visual art can transform the lives of those who make it and those who see it. Recently, I donated one of my paintings to the Women’s Health Center in Brooklyn, NY. Of the submissions received, some will be selected to be permanently installed in the WHC. Prior to being permanently placed, elected pieces will be put on exhibition and open for public viewing at the Housing Works Bookstore Cafe.

Housing Works hosts "Positive Art for Positive Women," in NYC

Event date: June 21, 2007 - June 24, 2007

In anticipation of the ribbon-cutting for its new Women's Health Center, Housing Works is hosting a reception for the art exhibition, "Positive Art for Positive Women." More than 50 works donated by visual artists, collectors, Housing Works supporters, and women living with HIV will be on display. There will be an online auction for several of the pieces.

Housing Works is the nation's largest grassroots AIDS organization dedicated to addressing the twin crises of HIV/AIDS and homelessness. The Women's Health Center is the only facility in New York state offering an array of services tailored to the needs of women living with HIV/AIDS.

The reception will be held 6–8 p.m. on Thursday, June 21, in New York City at the Housing Works Bookstore Café, 126 Crosby St. The exhibition will run through June 24. Admission is free. Computers will be available at the reception so attendees can bid in the online auction. For more information, visit Housing Works online.
