39 Artists
Deadline January 5, 2015
Art is a powerful tool to evoke social change. Without uttering a single word, artists can enlighten, educate and effect change around the world. Embracing Our Differences invites all artists to be a part of this change through your submissions to its 12th annual outdoor juried art exhibit celebrating diversity and inclusion.
The centerpiece of Embracing Our Differences is an outdoor juried international art exhibit featuring 39 billboard size images created by local, national and international artists, writers and students reflecting their interpretations of the theme "enriching lives through diversity."
Artists, photographers, professionals, amateurs, teachers, students-everyone can participate. 39 artists will be selected and national and international submissions are encouraged. The exhibit will be displayed April and May 2015 in Sarasota and Bradenton, FL USA. Since 2004, the exhibits have been viewed by almost 2,000,000 visitors.
Final selections will be made by a three-judge panel of professional artists, curators and art professionals and based on artistic excellence and originality in the reflection of our theme "enriching lives through diversity." $3,000 (US) in awards will be presented.
There is no submission fee nor limit on the number of entries.
Submissions must be submitted online or postmarked no later than January 5, 2015.

It is really cool -- I'd love to visit it and see everything. Also, a great opportunity for artists to get their "brand" out there.
What a fantastic idea! Has anyone been to see it? What do you think? Pretty cool...
