ARTcetera 2011. Saturday, October 1.

The Park Plaza Castle, Boston  Co-Chairs Barbara Lee and Bill Emery

with Rafanelli Events and MAX Ultimate Food

Twenty-five years ago, a group of Boston-area artists came together in response to the AIDS crisis, which was claiming the lives of so many of their friends, fellow artists and colleagues. They responded by creating and organizing the first ARTcetera, a contemporary art auction held at Boston City Hall, to raise money for AIDS Action Committee.

Over the years, ARTcetera has grown to become one of New England’s premier art auctions and an essential funding source for AIDS Action. And, while the AIDS epidemic looks nothing like it did 25 years ago, this epidemic and AIDS Action’s work are far from over.

This October, ARTcetera turns 25! Once again, the arts community and AIDS Action will celebrate our extraordinairy partnership in this fight to stop the epidemic by preventing new infections and optimizing the health of those living with HIV.

ARTcetera 2011 is now sold out. Thank you to all of our patrons and ticket purchasers!
