DESCRIPTION:The purpose of this exhibition is to promote dialogue on illness and art 
 and create visibility and awareness of Visual Aid's programs--especially in 
 Marin, which has the highest concentration of artists per capita of any 
 county in the United States.\n\nVisual Aid encourages artists with 
 life-threatening illnesses to continue their creative work. Each year, over 
 70 professional, visual artists suffering from disabling, life-threatening 
 illnesses such as HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis C and Breast Cancer benefit from 
 Visual Aid's programs. Serving Bay Area visual artists from diverse 
 backgrounds, the organization encourages artists to remain active 
 participants in the larger arts community by providing free art supplies, 
 exhibition opportunities, career counseling and other 
 services.\n\nGenerously funded by the Marin Community Foundation, Visual 
 Aid presents a three part exhibition. HOME FRONT, features works by 8 
 Visual Aid artists; GET OUT OF JAIL FREE, 124 small works from local and 
 international artists; and a Timeline and Overview of the AIDS Pandemic, 
 contributed by the Marin AIDS Project. \n\nThe title, HOME FRONT, refers to 
 the private, individual struggles of artists living with life-threatening 
 illnesses. Each day, these artists continue their creative work, 
 courageously facing prejudice, isolation and depression, while confronting 
 the powerful side effects of medication and the uncertainty of illness. 
 \n\nHOME FRONT showcases powerful new paintings, photographs, collages and 
 mixed media works by 8 outstanding Visual Aid artists: Michael Beck, 
 Richard Bolingbroke, Barbara Cooper, Martine Jardel, David King, Robert 
 Rice, Nevin Robinson and Veronica Rojas.\n\nGET OUT OF JAIL FREE, is an 
 exhibition exploring the theme of imprisonment as a metaphor for illness, 
 and for other issues of struggle in political, social and personal arenas. 
 \n\nThis exhibition is dedicated in loving memory to artist Barbara Cooper, 
 1950 - 2007.\n\n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2008/04/16/18493394.php
