    Created in 1987, The AIDS Memorial Quilt is a poignant memorial and the world's largest ongoing community arts project. Each "block" (or section) of the quilt is approximately 12 feet square and typically consists of eight individual three by six foot panels sewn together. Virtually every one of over 40,000 colorful panels in the quilt memorializes a life lost to AIDS. The quilt has been a tremendous tool in raising consciousness about the threat of AIDS, the losses we have all suffered because of this terrible disease, and the reconciliation that many have found because of this effort. The FAC joins the Southern Colorado AIDS Project and Pine Creek High School’s “Eyes Wide Open “ program in presenting the quilt for display. Admission is free.
