Celebrate Pride month with VRARA Seattle with a personal tour of The AMP: AIDS Memorial Pathway. Register Today!


The story of AIDS is the story of loss, love and resilience. The AIDS Memorial Pathway is one of the most significant public art installations in the Pacific Northwest in decades and is part of a growing network of AIDS memorials around the country and world.  It uses public art and augmented reality technology to create a place for remembrance and reflection, share stories about the epidemic and the diverse community responses to the crisis in Seattle,  and provide a call to action to end HIV/AIDS, stigma, and discrimination.


In 2022, The AMP was awarded the Technology Award by the Association of King County Historical Organizations. Stretching over a block and half, The AMP extends into the north end of Cal Anderson park integrating 5 meaning-filled public artworks including a digital AR memorial and history tour into a public plaza, community meeting room and reflection garden.


Roberto Haza, Seattle Chapter President, and Founder CEO of Xtended Reality Advisory and Julia Beabout, Seattle Chapter EVP of Community and Partnerships, and CEO of Novaby AR Studio are excited for this not to be missed personal tour of The AMP led by the project founders and AR creators.
