Honor the Past by Changing the Future of HIV and AIDS

The Arches of Hope are three 10-foot tall arches that represent the three decades of HIV and AIDS.

Over 30 million people have died, and 34 million people are currently living with HIV and AIDS worldwide.

We have made progress in the fight against HIV and AIDS, and yet...

Of the 2.5 million new HIV infections in 2011, almost 40 percent were young people ages 15 to 24.

The Arches is more than an art exhibit. It represents a global call to action to stop the spread of this disease.

Join your voice to the Arches of Hope and help create a generation free from HIV and AIDS.
BECOME PART OF THE ARCHES OF HOPE EXHIBIT

The Arches are made up of 223 blocks which people can ‘adopt’ to support the MTV Staying Alive Foundation and Lifebeat, Music Fights HIV & AIDS’ lifesaving HIV prevention programs. An LED ticker tape embedded in The Arches allows supporters to post a Message of Hope in the fight against the epidemic.

The Arches of Hope, which were designed by International award-winning Designer and Architect Antonio Pio Saracino, will be on display at The Out, 510 West 42 St. New York, NY starting January 17, 2013.

Attend the inauguration on January 17th
