along with posters generously donated to Massachusetts College of Art and Design. This cohesive collection of more than 150 posters presents a compelling overview of diverse
visual strategies created by many different artists working within their own distinct cultural and national perspectives on the subject of AIDS as a public health emergency. Coinciding
with exhibition and beginning on April 11, 2011, the gallery will host an Art Center Illustration Department/Designmatters exhibition entitled “The Graying of AIDS Exhibition: Off The
Wall.” The exhibition showcases student work inspired by “The Graying of AIDS: Stories from an Aging Epidemic,” a multi-platform outreach campaign led by the New York-based
team of Katja Heinemann and Naomi Schegloff, which aims to educate health care and social service professionals about the risks and realities of HIV/AIDS in older adults.
A very special reception will be held on Thursday, April 14 for the opening of the student exhibition, “The Graying of AIDS Exhibition: Off The Wall” and closing of “Graphic
