World AIDS Day observances
By Jeff Inglis

As Maine slashes the last of its AIDS-prevention funding in an attempt to somehow "save taxpayers money," the Portland department of public health is observing World AIDS Day, and offering free HIV/AIDS testing at the Maine College of Art (522 Congress Street, in Portland) from 10 am to 3 pm today.
As part of the event, they're showing the winning films in the Portland Phoenix Maine Short Film Festival

By Jeff Inglis

(We've previously posted the designs by three other artists, and if anyone else wants to send us their non-selected proposal, please e-mail them to jinglis@phx.

He’s a dynamic Venezuelan-born painter living in London, who said at the announcement of his win, “I cannot imagine any bigger project,” and then moved right on to do just that: “I’d like to see my paintings taking over cities.
