Presented in two parts by the City of West Hollywood (at the West Hollywood Library) and ONE Gallery, this preview of a national touring exhibition examines 30 years of artistic production made in response to the AIDS epidemic in the United States.

ONE focuses on California artists, from recent work by Tino Rodriguez and Ann P. Meredith to 1986 photographs by Catherine Opie that have never before been on view. Admission is free.
