The art on display will be auctioned off Thursday at the Harvard Club of Boston.
Part of the proceeds from the auction will go to the AIDS Institute's newly opened Botswana lab, which is working to develop a vaccine and to prevent mother-to-infant transmission of the virus. Remaining proceeds will go to the 1999 Miss Universe Mpule Kwelagobe, who founded a village in Botswana to care for children orphaned by AIDS.
The exhibit is free of charge. Tickets for the auction dinner are available from the AIDS Institute, which organized the exhibit, for $150.
The AIDS Institute was created in 1988 to consolidate the already existing AIDS research at Harvard University.
Other events held this month by the AIDS Institute included a summit to address the AIDS epidemic in Southern Africa. United States and Southern African leaders participated in the discussion, which took place at the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
