Display Host: Spokane AIDS Network - SAN – Spokane AIDS Network began as an informal network of friends, medical caregivers, and concerned citizens in 1985. Dr. Jeff Collins, Dr. Dan Coulston, and Tom Crowe of the Spokane County Health District met to discuss creating an AIDS support group which would include Community Mental Health, Department of Social and Health Services, members of the gay community, and other volunteers to coordinate services for people with AIDS.  In 2020, SAN continues to provide services and support to our community. In 2019, SAN displayed two of the included blocks during our World AIDS Day event.  The impact of this display is still relayed to our organization daily.  This year, we scoured the quilt database to bring our community 8 blocks that include Spokane community members.

Display Host: AIDS Memorial Pathway - The AMP: AIDS Memorial Pathway is a permanent public art installation in Seattle, located in Capitol Hill around the plaza above the light rail station and in Cal Anderson Park. The installation is designed to take visitors through an emotional and historic journey related to the AIDS epidemic in Seattle and Washington State, from the early 1980s to today. Works of physical and digital art, created by artists of different backgrounds and perspectives, tell stories of remembrance, reflection, creativity, and action surrounding this public health crisis and the community’s ongoing response. The stories of marginalized communities, ordinary people, and effective institutions remind us of a compelling part of our history, while giving us guides for continuing our work into the future. The AMP will be completed and open to the public in 2021. The Amp is honored to host this virtual Quilt display memorializing the lives lost to AIDS in the Seattle area and throughout Washington State.

Display Host: Seattle Gay News - This site is in remembrance of George Bakan, longtime Editor in Chief and Publisher of the Seattle Gay News for 37 years.  Sadly, George passed away on June 7, 2020 in his favorite office work chair.  He leaves a devastating hole in the hearts of those he loved and the community that he worked so hard to transform.  Touching thousands, if not millions of lives in his activism work over the course of 45 years, he fought with vociferous ferocity for the rights of gays, bi-sexuals, transgenders, the homeless, those bearing a different skin color than him and beyond.  When witnessing injustice, he was a fearless voice for those that had no voice.  As for AIDS, he was a man before his time. George realized the importance of prevention, knowledge and compassion. Now, he can see those dear friends he lost to this scourge. God rest his soul.
