NEWPORT BEACH : Museums to Observe ‘Day Without Art’
In an effort to increase AIDS awareness, the Newport Harbor Art Museum and several other Orange County museums will participate in the Day Without Art today.
The “Ruby” sculpture by Jonathan Borofsky that sits atop the Newport Harbor Art Museum and has become known as the museum’s trademark will be draped over to symbolize the many artists who have died of AIDS, museum officials said.
The Day Without Art coincides with the World Health Organization’s AIDS Awareness Day, which celebrates the achievements and lives of colleagues and friends stricken with the virus, mourns those who have died from it and acknowledges AIDS care-givers and activists.
