Announcing ArtCares Jr.: A special exhibition and auction featuring the work of young artists


ANNUAL ART AUCTION and BENEFIT

Announcing ArtCares Jr.

A special exhibition and auction featuring the work of young artists.

Most young people enjoy creative activities: writing, drawing and designing are ways to express who they are, how they feel, and their relationship to the world around them. Creative activities provide opportunities to examine real-life issues and problems – including HIV and AIDS and the stigma attached to it. Art is often a major way children communicate.

ArtCares Jr. is an opportunity for young artists between the ages of 3 and 14 to show off their talents and skills while offering their support for those infected, affected and at-risk for HIV/AIDS. ArtCares Jr. is being presented in conjunction with the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland’s signature fundraiser – ArtCares.

Young artists are given a blank canvas to use as they choose. Any kind of art is accepted – paintings, watercolor, pen and ink, pastel or any other medium they chose to work in. Their art will be displayed at the 78th Street Studios popular ‘Third Friday’ on Friday, February 17 at a special reception. Works will be auctioned off in a silent auction to help raise funds for the AIDS Taskforce of Greater Cleveland.

For more information or to learn how to participate, contact Rebecca Murray-Strong at 216-621-0766, extension 232 or rstrong@atfgc.org.

Ryan White Part B Draft Rule 3701-44-03 is open for public comment

The HIV Care Services program at the Ohio Department of Health manages Ohio’s Ryan White Part B funds. HIV Care Services invites you to review the proposed action related to rule 3701‐44-03 of the Ohio Administrative Code). Specifically, HIV Care
Services proposes to rescind the currently effective rule and propose the same rule as new. The rule guides HIV Care Services program operations. Rule 3701-44-03, as proposed, allows for greater flexibility in managing the Ryan White Part B funds, including the use of medical criteria to triage the most medically vulnerable on an Ohio Drug Assistance Program (OHDAP) waiting list should such a list become necessary.

The medical criteria were developed by the clinical subcommittee of the Ryan White Part B Advisory Board ensuring input from practicing HIV specialists across Ohio. The experts’ recommendations to the ODH Director are based on the US Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Treatment Guidelines for HIV. Rule 3701-44-03, as proposed, was reviewed by the entire Part B Advisory Board which has fully endorsed the draft rule. We would like your feedback as well. Read the rest of this page »
