Art has always been at the heart of resistance, healing, and remembrance, and to support the ongoing preservation, educational outreach, and public cultural programming of the New York City AIDS Memorial, world-renowned artists have generously contributed exclusive limited-edition works and original pieces. To showcase this collection, the Memorial will host a special, free public exhibition at David Kordansky Gallery in New York City from October 28 through October 31, 2026, kicking off with a public opening reception on Wednesday, October 28 at 6:00 PM. Attendees will have the opportunity to view the works firsthand and acquire pieces directly supporting our mission to honor the more than 100,000 New Yorkers lost to AIDS, celebrate the heroism of activists and caregivers, and empower current and future generations living with and impacted by HIV/AIDS.

“This painting is about passing down life skills and embodied knowledge to friends. Preserving the New York City AIDS Memorial felt like an appropriate context for this work, as connecting to community and supporting one another through collective action is and was central to the mobilization of the fight against AIDS.”

— Loie Hollowell

 “REMEMBER LOVE.”
