Call for Art

World AIDS Day is observed around the globe in remembrance of those who lost their lives to the disease and as a reminder that, while there has been progress, the epidemic is not over.

This year, to coincide with CAMP Rehoboth’s World AIDS Day commemoration, an AIDS related community art exhibition “ART & AIDS, A Story to be Told” will be hosted in the CAMP Rehoboth Gallery.

The exhibition will open on World AIDS Day, December 1, 2022 and will be on display through January 6, 2023. Multiple visual art forms will be included – paintings, photography, digital art, video, sculpture, glass art, fabric art, and more.

ART & AIDS, A Story to be Told Registration

The first 12 artists to register will each be able to exhibit one original work in this exhibition. The registration period will close when 12 artists have registered. Registered art will need to be delivered to CAMP Rehoboth on November 22, 28, or 29 between the hours of 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.

The purpose of this exhibition is to promote dialogue and raise awareness. HIV/AIDS has a complicated story, one of devastation, loss, anger, and isolation, as well as survival and hope. There are many aspects to consider: the deep cultural history of HIV/AIDS and activism, contemporary issues around Black and Brown lives, the disproportionate infection rates among youth of color, homophobic and transphobic driven laws still present today, and the hope for a future in a world without AIDS.

AIDS experiences have changed the world of art. Self-expression and social commentary are important aspects of the art we create. How have you used your art to give voice to these issues?

CAMP Rehoboth looks forward to including your art in this thought-provoking exhibition.
