Our year-round education initiatives represent the most important aspect of our efforts – reaching and impacting the lives of thousands of students and educators locally and around the world. Since 2004, more than 642,000 students have participated including 55,357 students and 2,048 educators during the 2023-2024 school year alone.
Everyday Embracing Our Differences works to share our positive message of kindness, respect, and inclusion.
Join us in creating a community where genuine acceptance and respect is not only a way of thinking and feeling - but most importantly, of acting.
Together, we can create a vibrant community where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated.
Artists possess a powerful tool to evoke social change. Without uttering a single word, they can enlighten, educate and affect change around the world.
A critical part of the impact of the exhibit is the selected quotations from the general public that accompany each piece of artwork. The quotations give individuals in the larger community a chance to have their voices represented by expressing their thoughts, feelings. and ideas.
Embracing Our Differences invites you to participate in creating a world where differences are embraced and individuality is celebrated. Become a part of this exciting change through your visual art or creative writing submission to the annual Embracing Our Differences juried competition.
