NLAAD has partnered with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on HIV/AIDS Policy for the National HIV Testing Mobilization Campaign, a nationwide effort to promote HIV testing.

Please help us spread the word about the importance of HIV testing in Latino communities.

We encourage you to download the following campaign materials (http://nlaad.org/promotehivtesting.php) and use them to help raise awareness about HIV/AIDS and encourage members of your community to get tested for HIV. You may reproduce the fact sheets freely and customize them to promote your organization and its testing services. You can also obtain printed copies through the Campaign website at www.aids.gov/takecontrol

We hope these resources will assist your efforts to educate, motivate, and mobilize your local community in the fight against HIV/AIDS!

Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards From Kentuckiana Art for AIDS

Artists Wanted

Kentuckiana Art for AIDS invites artists to participate in our first annual visual AIDS - Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards benefit. We are looking for artists to donate a 4" x 6" original work on paper for the exhibition and sale. Painting, drawing, photography, printmaking and mixed media are all welcome. We are pleased to announce our host gallery is David Green / STARViN-ARTiST.

DEADLINE is postmark Saturday, November 1, 2008 (NO late entries)

Be Creative. Be Safe. Postcards is a show and sale of original, postcard-sized artworks on paper by established and emerging artists. All artworks are $75 and sold on a first-come, first-served basis. The works are signed on the back and exhibited so that the artists' signatures cannot be seen. While buyers have a list of all participating artists, they don't know who created which piece until it is purchased and the signature is revealed. A collector might end up with a work by a famous artist or one they don't yet know. Either way, they walk away with a great piece of art while supporting visual AIDS of Kentuckiana Art for AIDS's important work.

If you would like to participate, please contact us for Artists Submission Forms.
