The iconic AIDS Memorial Quilt signifies loss and love like no other memorial.  Since 1985 when the Quilt was conceived by Cleve Jones, it has served to provide context as a teaching tool for a generation that cannot comprehend the enormity of AIDS pandemic devastation in the world.

In collaboration with the Rockingham Free Public Library, the LGBT National Help Center and Keller Williams Metropolitan Keene, Bellows Falls Pride will bring one 12’x12’ section of the AIDS Memorial Quilt to acknowledge World AIDS Day, recognized annually on December 1 since 1988. The Quilt can be viewed from 10am – 5pm on Wednesday, December 4th in the third-floor ballroom space of the library, which is elevator accessible. Members of Bellows Falls Pride will serve as docents for the exhibit to provide information and answer questions. The event is free and open to the public.
