According to this site,Day Without Art (DWA) began in 1989 as a national day of action and mourning in response to the AIDS crisis. To make the public aware that AIDS can touch everyone and inspire positive action, eight hundred US art and AIDS groups participated in the first Day Without Art, shutting down museums, sending staff to volunteer at AIDS services or sponsoring special exhibitions of work about AIDS. Since then, Day Without Art has grown into a collaborative project in which an estimated 8,000 museums, galleries, art centers, AIDS Service Organizations, libraries, high schools & colleges take part on both the national and international level.
Does that help? I just assumed everyone knew what it was... And I'm a dolt, as I forget to post the graphics each year on my LJ and our sites...
I might be able to pick up the slack on one of the slots if I can finish off my BSG story for you today/tomorrow. I'll let you know for definite Tuesday.
