Art for Life began in 1988 in response to the AIDS epidemic in Sonoma County and has grown to a much-anticipated annual event to benefit care services for the more than 500 men, women and children living in Sonoma County with HIV and AIDS. We encourage everyone to experience this exemplary exhibit of art.

Art for Life (AFL) has raised more than two million dollars for Face to Face HIV prevention services, harm reduction services, and care services programs for people living with HIV/AIDS in Sonoma County.
