Looking Back: Art for Life Chicago 2025

On behalf of DIFFA Chicago, we extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who joined us for Art for Life Chicago 2025. What an unforgettable experience—where art didn’t just hang on walls, it sparked conversations, built connections, and ignited hope.
Thanks to your incredible generosity, Art for Life Chicago, including the 2nd Chance Sale and our Three for Life Gallery Show in September, raised over $50,000 for DIFFA’s Excellence in Care Grant Awards. These funds support organizations dedicated to the vision of zero new cases of HIV by 2030. Every bid, every donation, and every moment you shared with us helped ensure that care and resources reach those most impacted by HIV/AIDS.
Together, we proved that art has the power to unite and create lasting impact. Thank you for being part of this movement and for helping us turn art into action.
