New York City AIDS Memorial
New York City AIDS Memorial, AIDS memorial in Greenwich Village, New York City, United States.
The New York City AIDS Memorial features an 18-foot steel canopy structure with triangular forms and illuminated lines covering 1,600 square feet of space.
The memorial opened on December 1, 2016, marking the first major public space in New York City dedicated to remembering over 100,000 individuals who died from AIDS.
Visual artist Jenny Holzer incorporated granite panels engraved with passages from Walt Whitman's Song of Myself, creating a permanent artistic element within the memorial.
The memorial is accessible via subway lines 1, 2, 3, F, and M to 14th Street station, with multiple bus routes and CitiBike stations nearby.
The site stands at the former location of St. Vincent's Hospital, which operated New York City's largest AIDS ward during the height of the epidemic.
