happening this month ENJOY ART Embracing Our Differences Exhibit runs to April 1 in Bayfront Park Embracing Our Differences has announced its 2021 outdoor art exhibit and top winners. The organization received 15,912 entries from 128 countries and 48 states in submissions for the 18th annual outdoor art exhibit celebrating diversity. The Best-in- Show Adult artwork award went to Arya Badiyan from Lake Oswego, Oregon. Emily Norris, a 7th grade student from Sarasota Middle School, won the Best-in-Show Student award. SINCE 2004, Embracing Our Differences has used the power of art and prose to promote diversity. One way it accomplishes this is through its annual, juried international outdoor art exhibition consisting of 50 billboard-sized works of art, each accompanied by an inspirational quote. The response to the call for artwork and inspirational quotes brought 15,912 entries pouring in from 128 countries and 48 states. Students from 412 schools around the world submitted artwork or quotes to the juried exhibit. The winning quotes and art will be showcased in the 18th annual exhibit, running through April 1, in Sarasota’s Bayfront Park. Sarah Wertheimer, Embracing Our Differences’ executive director, says she and EOD’s art selection committee were inspired by the substantial number of works they received this year. “Embracing our Differences exists to proclaim the values of inclusion, kindness and respect and we were moved to see that thousands of people around the world share these values,” says Wertheimer. “More than ever, their art and words confirm that we need to replace hostility and division with a respect for diversity. We need to honor the things that make us different and celebrate the things we have in common.” Wertheimer explains that the selection committee considers how well the core idea of the work is expressed and how the piece will work when blown up to the size of a billboard. “It needs to make an immediate impact,” she says. “Does the message encourage me to think? Does it inspire me to see something from a new perspective? Does the art itself stop me in my path? These are some of the reactions we’re hoping to inspire in the viewer.” Awards are given for “Best-in-Show EOD 2021: Best in Show, Adult: “Liberty Enlightening the World” by Arya Badiyan. EOD 2021: Best in Show, Student: “Small Struggles” by Emily Norris, a 7th grade student at Sarasota Middle School. EOD 2021: “Different Shades” by Clifford McDonald Adult,” “Best-in-Show Student,” and “People’s Choice” categories, with the last chosen by visitors to the exhibit. Adult art winners each receive $1,000; students receive $1,000, which they split with their school’s art program. The person who pens the winning quote is awarded $1,000 and if that winner is a student, the award is split evenly with their school’s language arts program. EOD 2021: “Colors of Change” by Meg Seymour 2021 ART WINNERS The Best-in-Show Adult winner for art is for “Liberty Enlightening the World” by Arya Badiyan, an artist, poet, writer, community builder and entrepreneur from Lake Oswego, Oregon. In this bold and striking work, the artist explains that “Lady Liberty is a Black woman who stands before the millions of Black lives that have been lost to slavery and injustice in this country. She is lighting the way and leading us forward.” Badiyan will receive $1,000 for her work. Emily Norris, a 7th grade student from Sarasota Middle School, won the Best-in-Show Student award for “Small Struggles,” a work depicting a girl of color standing in front of an aisle of dolls that are white with blonde hair. “To me, the concept of ‘embracing our differences’ means showing off what’s unique about yourself,” says Norris. “Through my work, I attempt to highlight the little struggles people of color go through every day.” Norris will split the $1,000 award with her school’s art program. 2021 QUOTE WINNER The award for the Best-in-Show inspirational quote was given to Temilola Aderemi from Ibafo, Nigeria, for: “If we were to exchange shoes, would you be willing to wear mine?” Wertheimer stresses the importance of the statements accompanying each artwork. “Every quote opens a window into our common humanity,” she says. “They touch us with their wit, insight, and empathy.” Embracing Our Differences’ annual outdoor exhibits are the heart of a yearround program of activities designed to use art as a catalyst to create awareness and promote diversity.
