This paper provides a historical account and analysis of Visual AIDS’ first Day Without Art in 1989, a day of action and mourning observed at hundreds of art museums in response to the AIDS crisis. Day Without Art marshaled arts professionals to engage in the struggle against AIDS, shifting social roles and responsibilities within art institutions.
