Aids Garden

AIDS Garden Chicago is a public 2.5 acre monument along Lake Michigan in Chicago. It is located south of Belmont Harbor and memorializes the early days of Chicago’s HIV epidemic and honoring those who continue to fight against the disease today. The site location is near the historic Belmont Rocks, a gathering spot for LGBTQ people in Chicago from the 1970s to the 1990s. The Garden’s first phase was completed in late 2019 with the installation of its anchor piece, ‘Self-Portrait,’ a 30 foot tall sculpture by the artist and activist Keith Haring. A public grand opening is set for the spring of 2022.
