UCLA Art | Global Health Center

Established in 2006, the Art | Global Health Center at UCLA is committed to supporting and developing scholarship focused at the nexus of art and health; to fostering interdisciplinary interaction among artists, public health workers, and medical professionals, at UCLA and beyond; to creating new opportunities for engaged scholarship; and to reuniting the consideration of art and health around the globe. These objectives are currently pursued through the Center's major initiative, MAKE ART/STOP AIDS.

In its first full year of operation, the Art|Global Health Center (AGHC) succeeded in establishing its organization with administrative and research development staff support; with extended visibility through programs and events; and by diversifying its funding base through grants, partnerships, gifts and new research collaborations. David Gere, AGHC Director and lead PI, set the stage for a multi-year strategy with an expanded, global vision for MAKE ART/STOP AIDS (MA/SA).
