Visual AIDS is a New York-based arts organization that uses visual art to address HIV/AIDS, aiming to provoke dialogue, support artists living with HIV, and preserve the legacy of the AIDS movement. It describes itself as a nonprofit dedicated to HIV prevention and AIDS awareness through producing and presenting visual art projects while assisting artists affected by HIV/AIDS. The organization emphasizes diversity across its staff, leadership, artists, and audiences. Its programming engages audiences through partnerships with cultural institutions and events, including Day With/out Art collaborations and related MoMA PS1 programming. In August 2025, Visual AIDS began developing original writing for its website with research fellows, aiming to illuminate the life and work of artists lost to AIDS. Based in New York, the organization operates with a relatively small team, reflecting a focused, mission-driven scope.
