SAN DIEGO -- Art & Soul, Being Alive San Diego's signature fundraising event, will be held from 6-9 pm Saturday, June 23.

Formerly known as Soul Plates, each year celebrity artists create one-of-a-kind art pieces that are auctioned off at the event, which typically attracts over 250 guests.

Besides raising money for the vital services that Being Alive provides, organizers hope to increase awareness about HIV/AIDS and need for support services for San Diegans living with the disease.
