In June 1987, after losing many friends to AIDS, Cleve Jones created THE NAMES Project. The idea of a quilt, offering warmth and comfort, with the names of the many people who have struggled with AIDS was combined into a powerful piece of artwork.
As the size of the Quilt has grown (over 46,000 individual panels) so has the Quilt's impact. It continues to be a powerful memorial, as well as an impressive tool for prevention education. Portions of the Quilt are displayed in churches, schools, government centers, and various events world wide.
The Indiana AIDS Fund is honored to be the host site for The Names Project Indiana Chapter and hope to share the message of the Quilt with all of our connected agencies across the state of Indiana.
