The 13th Annual Embracing Our Differences Exhibit Now Open

Coconut Telegraph

 Since 2004, Embracing Our Differences has used the power of art and education to promote diversity. One way it accomplishes this is through its annual outdoor public art exhibition consisting of 45 billboard-sized works of art, each accompanied by an inspirational quote. The response to this year’s call for artwork and inspirational quotes was stronger than ever, with more than 8,350 entries pouring in from 104 countries and 44 states. Students from 106 schools around the world submitted artwork or quotes to the juried exhibit; 40 of this year’s winners were students, and 38 of those were from local schools. The winning quotes and art will be showcased in the 13th-anniversary exhibit, through May 31, in Sarasota’s Island Park.
