GALLERY: Art for Life Chicago is Using Art to Invest in the HIV Community

The Design Industry Foundation Fighting AIDS presented its inaugural Art For Life Chicago benefit this week, an exhibit and live and silent auction showcasing a juried selection of donated works from both professional and emerging artists. 

Funds raised at the event will be provided to local organizations making an impact in Chicago’s HIV/AIDS Community, such as AIDS Foundation of Chicago, Howard Brown Health, Pediatric AIDS Chicago Prevention Initiative, Legal Council for Health Justice, and others. 

Art for Life provided an incredible opportunity for locals to invest in culture while also raising vital funds to help those most impacted by the virus. Chicago is the latest city to house an Art for Life benefit in the United Sates. Canada and the United Kingdom also play hose to the annual event.

Overall, an immense amount of money was raised to help those who need it most — that’s the power of art for you.
