Call to Artists
- Deadline: January 9th, 2012 The mission
of Embracing
Our Differences® is to use art as a catalyst for
creating awareness and promoting, throughout our community, the value
of diversity, the benefits of inclusion and the significance of the
active rejection of hatred and prejudice.
Embracing Our Differences® 2012, the 9th annual outdoor art exhibit,
will contain 39 billboard-sized original works of art measuring 16 feet
wide by 12.5 feet high (4.8768 m wide by 3.8100 m high). Each selection
is accompanied by an inspirational quote. The exhibit will be displayed
during April & May, 2012 at Island Park along Sarasota,
Florida's beautiful bay front.
Since 2004, Embracing Our Differences® has been viewed by more
than one million visitors. During the same period, 85,000 students and
teachers attended the exhibit - free of charge thanks to our School Bus
Program - for a firsthand observation and discussion concerning the
importance of diversity in our lives.
After viewing the exhibit, one 8-year old student poignantly commented,
"I learned that everyone is going to be someone."
We invite you to participate in creating a society that is more
inclusive for all. Consider submitting an original work of art and know
that you are helping to make a difference in the lives of
many, especially those of our children.
