#National AIDS Memorial Quilt

An exhibit featuring Hawaiʻi panels from the National AIDS Memorial Quilt will debut on Sunday, Dec. 1, from 5 to 8 p.m. The exhibit will be a key component of this year’s World AIDS Day Ceremony. The quilt panels will be on display throughout the month of December. It is the first time in two decades that so many panels will be displayed publicly in Honolulu. 

The Maui AIDS Foundation will host “World AIDS Day – A Concert of Hope,” featuring performances by Eric Gilliom, Vince Esquire, and Anthony Pfluke on Dec. 1 at the Historic Iao Theater.

For the first time in history, the blocks from the National AIDS Memorial Quilt representing individuals lost in Hawaiʻi will be on display for viewing. Seen for the first time on Maui, organizers say this is an extremely rare and meaningful opportunity to pay tribute to those lost within the local community.
