James Cohan Gallery is proud to partner with African Services Committee to host a benefit cocktail party for their Pediatric HIV Program in Ethiopia. The event will take place at the gallery on Thursday, March 12th from 7:00-9:00PM.

African Services has provided rapid HIV testing to children over 18 months of age at their Pediatric AIDS clinic since 2004. To date, they have diagnosed over 200 HIV positive children, who were then referred to partner organizations for further clinical evaluation, treatment, care, and support. Pediatric nurses examine children monthly and meet with their families to monitor their medical treatment and nutrition. African Services also supplies families with the vitamin supplements necessary to support healthy immune systems.

Benefit Tickets start at $100 ($125 at the door) and all ticket purchases are tax-deductible. Thanks to the generosity of our sponsors, 100% of proceeds will directly benefit HIV positive children. Please visit the event page on the African Services Committee website for more event information and to purchase a benefit ticket: www.africanservices.org/events/PositiveKids2

Here are some of the many ways you can support the work of African Services Committee:

Sponsor a Microloan for families: Funding a microloan enables families coping with HIV to launch small enterprises of their own and support the needs of their children. This $200 ticket includes a microloan donation of $100 and entry for one person.

Purchase a Milk Money artwork: Inspired by the artwork of Simon Evans, the children in African Services' HIV program in Ethiopia created original drawings for this event. The cost of each artwork will provide one child with the milk necessary to process HIV medication for one year. This $160 ticket includes a Milk Money drawing of your choice and entry for one person to the event.

Purchase a Benefit ticket: Join us to celebrate the work of African Services and raise funds to support their Pediatric HIV Program in Ethiopia. 100% of all proceeds will directly benefit HIV positive children and the entire amount of this $100 ticket is tax deductible.

If you are unable to attend the event, we ask that you consider making a donation at npo.networkforgood.org

This body of work explores complex notions of presence, engagement and isolation in the era of Covid. Beginning in March 2020, Aitchison utilized video chat platforms to make hundreds of sketches of close friends. The resulting portrait series is at once vibrant and introspective. His subjects are jarringly foregrounded and many present with duplicate or askew facial features. These distortions mirror the glitchy, interrupted and delayed experienc...
