Touching the Lives of Texans:
The AIDS Quilt Comes to San Antonio

Aug. 15 – Sept. 20

Launched in 1987, The AIDS Memorial Quilt provides a creative means for remembrance and healing – serving as a memorial, an educational tool and a community arts project.

The Names Project Foundation is the custodian of The AIDS Memorial Quilt. The foundation provides education on the extent of the AIDS pandemic and preserves a cultural record of those affected through the colorful panels of these quilts. The quilt project provides messages of remembrance, awareness and hope.

The Institute of Texan Cultures will display 12 blocks of The AIDS Memorial Quilt Aug. 15 to Sept. 20. Each block will contain panels honoring individuals from San Antonio and Texas.
