To honor the legacy of Mary Bowman and support other accomplished young and emerging art activists (“artivists”) like her, the National AIDS Memorial has partnered with ViiV Healthcare to create the Mary Bowman Arts in Activism Award. Student and non-student art activists are welcome to apply for this award.
These awards are intended to support young and emerging artivists each year who exemplify Mary’s passion for the arts as the vehicle for their own HIV/AIDS and/or health equity and social justice community activism and expression. Recipients of the Mary Bowman Arts in Activism Award use their art and activism to raise greater awareness about bigotry, stigma, and social justice around the issue of HIV/AIDS and/or health inequities and social injustices that fuel the spread of the disease.
