Day Without Art (DWA) began on December 1st 1989 as the national day of action and mourning in response to the AIDS crisis. Since then, Day With(out) Art has grown into a collaborative project in which museums, galleries, art centers, AIDS Service Organizations, libraries, high schools and colleges present HIV related programming to remind the world that AIDS IS NOT OVER.
What are you doing for Day With(out) Art 2012? 
For 2012, Visual AIDS is proud to announce we distributing UNITED IN ANGER: A History of ACT UP from filmmaker Jim Hubbard.
The 93-minute documentary about the birth and life of the AIDS activist movement from the perspective of the people in the trenches fighting the epidemic. Utilizing oral histories of members of ACT UP, as well as rare archival footage, the film depicts the efforts of ACT UP as it battles corporate greed, social indifference, and government neglect.
With distribution comes programming ideas, and marketing support to ensure you have a successful screening. For more information about the film and director Jim Hubbard, check out POZ.com
This is the third year in a row Visual AIDS has distributed a film for Day With(out) Art. Last year we screened UNTITLED with over 60 screening partners across North America.
Join us this year!
