Share Your Art at the 20th European AIDS Conference

The European AIDS Clinical Society (EACS) is excited to highlight the creative work of people living with HIV at the 20th European AIDS Conference in Paris, France, from 15-18 October 2025. We invite artists living with HIV to submit their work, including drawings, paintings, prints, photographs, or images of 3D exhibits, created between 2020 and 2025. 
Please note that AI-generated artwork will not be accepted. 

We especially encourage art with HIV-related themes, and artists may choose to remain anonymous if they prefer. 

An international jury will select the artworks to be displayed at the Conference, and delegates will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite exhibit.
