A.F.A.C.T. Artist Fighting AIDS/HIV Creatively Through The Arts was Established in
1995, and gained exemption status January 6, 2003 under section 501c3.
As a non-profit organization with an emphasis on the African American
Community, we are dedicated to the promotion of increasing awareness
and decreasing infections of HIV/AIDS through through theatrical and
mass media art. Artists who participate in the A.F.A.C.T. three tier
program receive artist development support, and gainful employment
while teaching through edutainment.
A.F.A.C.T.
is a very unique organization, in that it was created by a group of
socially conscious artists whose contemporary social education affords
them the understanding that is required to attack AIDS/HIV at it's very
core. We are sisters and brothers in the struggle to save ourselves.
Demographically we are the people at risk for AIDS. We envision an
Outreach Program that extends through Public Service Advertising
targeting the largest population of those at risk for HIV/AIDS, Black
Women.
Traditional
methods of reaching the African American Community are lost because
people creating the campaigns to do not represent the people that thay
are intended for. In fact large organizations are stigmatized in Black
Communities because of the corrupt history with regard to African
American medical patients. Poverty, Fear of Rejection and Desire for
Acceptance are the controlling factors in the plight of African
American health. But while this is understood by researchers, they
simply spin numbers that do not translate into urban common sense. At
A.F.A.C.T. we understand that the quickest way to the mind is through
the soul. The Artists associated with A.F.A.C.T. create innovative
programming, that speaks in a language that is familiar to its target
audience. Through music, dance, theater and literature laced with
stimulating imagery, we have devised a program with great promise.
AFACT was created as a three tier program:
1.
To create artistic works that promote improved sexual relations with a
focus on safe sex practices, communication between couples and
abstinence.
2.
To communicate to urban target audience through Literature, Music and
Dance. Theatrical performances, television and radio have been a major
source of outreach for AFACT and its mission since 1995. AFACT artist
have been creating works of art to sell in order to afford the
promotion of our cause, safe sex and sexual practices.
3.
To recruit, train and employ artist who share our commitment to the
preservation of sexual health. To provide the participating artist with
an in house support system and vehicle for development and growth,
while giving back to the community.
