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.
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 693,000 students have participated including 51,674 students and 2,156 educators during the 2024-2025 school year alone.
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 exhibition is the selected quotations from the general public that accompany each piece of artwork. The quotations give individuals in the 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.
