SARASOTA, Fla., Nov. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Now in its 30th year in the fight against HIV, CAN Community Health will observe World AIDS Day by collaborating with two of the region's leading cultural institutions on the evenings of December 1 and 2 to co-present powerful, thought-provoking and memorable experiences. The events will take place at Sarasota Art Museum and Urbanite Theatre.

"At CAN we believe that collaboration and partnership are essential to community service. Having these two very different organizations – SAM and Urbanite Theatre – partner with us in support of World AIDS DAY and A Day With(out) Art will make a significant impact," said Roger Capote, Sr. Vice President and Chief Communications Officer for CAN.

Wednesday, December 1: Day With(out) Art Evening Program to Feature the Art of Felix Gonzalez-Torres, AIDS Quilt Display, Live Performance and More.

In partnership with Sarasota Art Museum, CAN Community Health will co-present a Day With(out) Art evening program. This evening of contemplation, community and care will feature an installation of visual art by Felix Gonzalez-Torres (1957-1996) and a tribute to the National AIDS Quilt display that was originally created on the National Mall lawn. Quilts will be displayed within the Museum's McGuire Hall.

Sarasota Art Museum Executive Director Virginia Shearer said, "Felix Gonzalez-Torres was a thoughtful artist whose work is very accessible to the public. Though his work is infused with fun and light-heartedness, he never lost site of its deeper meaning and his mission, which is to have the public engage with issues that mattered to him by participating with his art. The work 'Untitled' is from a series called 'The Candy Spill,' and is actually a metaphor for the deterioration of the body during illness."

The evening's program will also feature Guest Speaker Jon Arterton, an AIDS activist and person living with AIDS, a live performance by Diversity: The Voices of Sarasota, "Faces of HIV" panels & CAN Community Health timeline, and CAN Patient Video Tribute. This event is free of charge and open to the public.

WHERE: Sarasota Art Museum, 1001 South Tamiami Trail, Sarasota, FL 34236
INFORMATION: On the Museum Website

Thursday, December 2: Performance Donations Will Benefit CAN Patient Assistance Fund.

On Thursday, December 2, CAN Community Health will partner with Urbanite Theatre to co-present the evening's performance of Terry Guest's At The Wake Of A Dead Drag Queen, directed by Damian Lockhart in his Urbanite Theatre debut.
"At the Wake of a Dead Drag Queen is one of those rare productions that is immensely funny and joyful while exploring complex, meaningful cultural matters," says Urbanite Theatre's Founder and Co-Artistic Director Brendan Ragan.

During the December 2 performance, all performance donation will be donated to the CAN Community Health Patient Assistance Fund.

WHERE: Urbanite Theatre, 1487 2nd Street, Sarasota FL 34236
