STORIES: The AIDS Monument was a collaborative project between the City of West Hollywood and the Foundation for the AIDS Monument (FAM) to memorialize the devastation of HIV/AIDS, honor courageous activists, caregivers, and community leaders through their STORIES, and raise awareness about the history and stigma of living with HIV/AIDS. The Monument is located prominently in West Hollywood Park along San Vicente Boulevard and functions as an iconic public art experience and memorial site.

Designed by artist Daniel Tobin, the monument features a plaza, a donor wall, vertical bronze "traces" with narrative text, integrated lighting reminiscent of a candlelight vigil, and a podium facing N. San Vicente Boulevard. Set in the heart of West Hollywood, the monument captures our community's activism and the personal stories of those impacted by HIV/AIDS.

This Monument is made possible through the generous support of grant funding from the California Natural Resources Agency and the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District.
