Embracing Our Differences

2019 CALL TO ARTISTS

BRIEF

Artists possess a powerful tool to evoke social change. Without uttering a
single word, they can enlighten, educate and effect change around the world.
Embracing Our Differences invites you to participate in creating a society
where diversity is embraced and individuality is celebrated. Become a part of
this change by submitting your original art to Embracing Our Differences
and its 16th annual international outdoor juried art exhibit featuring 45
billboard-size images measuring 16 feet (5m) wide by 12.5 feet (4m) high. Each
work of art is created by local, national and international artists reflecting
their interpretation of our theme “enriching lives through diversity.”

The exhibit is displayed mid-January through mid-March each year in Island
Park along Sarasota’s bayfront in Southwest Florida. Since 2004 the exhibit
has hosted over 2,700,000 visitors plus another 280,000 students for a
very unique opportunity to experience the importance of diversity in our lives.
