World AIDS Day 2013: First Thursday with Vaughn Frick

Join us at Pivot on December 5th for a First Thursday event with featured artist Vaughn Frick, HIV activist and cartoonist. Vaughn Frick is a legendary artist and leader whose iconic comic illustrations helped tell the story of HIV/AIDS. As Art Director of the San Francisco Sentinel newspaper during early 1980s, and later as a cartoonist for Seattle Gay News, Vaughn has been instrumental in creating media for ACT-UP Portland and other political causes. The anthology NO Straight Lines which featured Vaughn’s work was nominated for an Eisner award and won a Lambda Literary Award. Vaughn Frick has designed a beautiful window display featuring the work of other artists with HIV, and his own work will be featured inside Pivot for the month of December! Come mingle, snack and check out this must-see collection of his work!
