Krakow Witkin Gallery began organizing the annual AIDS Benefit auction at the height of the AIDS epidemic in 1989. For thirty-five years, Krakow Witkin Gallery has held an annual benefit to raise funds for the Dimock Community Health Center. 

The benefit will be entirely online here and to purchase works from the benefit you can pre-register here.

The Dimock Center, a private, non-profit agency has been in continuous use as a health facility since its establishment in 1862 as the New England Hospital for Women and Children. Dimock is Boston’s largest minority-owned, comprehensive community health and human services agency designated as a federally qualified health center caring for a primarily minority, low-income population. Dimock serves a population where many struggle daily to meet the basics of home, clothing, food, and safety on account of poverty, addiction, and systemic racism.

Read more about the Dimock Center’ Boston Pediatric and Family AIDS Program here.

This year's 35th edition will open online on Saturday, November 30, at exactly 10am, and will offer donated works for purchase at $450 each. Works are first made visible on the website on Saturday, November 30th at 10am EST. Works will be available online on a first-come, first-served basis.

For more information on how the benefit works here or call the gallery for further information. 617 262 4490.
