A Day Without Art is the art world's response to the AIDS crisis. It takes place annually on December 1 in conjunction with World AIDS Day. Beginning in 1989 and continuing on through the present, museums, schools, artist collectives, and other groups participate in creative, activist-oriented art events on this day. Day Without Art was created by Visual AIDS, a New York organization of art professionals, who is also the creator of The Ribbon Project, the iconic red ribbon which symbolizes support for persons with HIV/AIDS and Night Without Light, a symbolic gesture of dimming New York city’s skyline for 15 minutes on December 1 to remember those lost to AIDS.
Over the years, Day Without Art activities have taken on various presentations. In the early years, many institutions draped artworks as a symbolic mourning gesture. Other institutions closed their doors to allow staff to volunteer at local AIDS service organizations. As the years progressed, institutions reduced their programming to parallel society’s perception of the fading threat of the AIDS crisis. Most art institutions discontinued their participation following the introduction of protease inhibitors in the late 1990s which led to the improvement of HIV+ persons life expectancy. Visual AIDS changed the name to Day With(out) Art in 1997 to reflect a more inclusive, positive event.
