MAKE ART/STOP AIDS is an initiative of the UCLA Art & Global Health Center, as well as other partnering groups around the world, including the Art & Global Health Center Africa. We're founded on the principle that artists are an essential part of anti-AIDS efforts. Artists are able to shape transformative insights and possibilities that literally redirect how people think and act.
