Embracing Our Differences at Poynter Park in St. Petersburg, Florida on March 2, 2024.

More than two decades after its inception at the Florida Holocaust Museum, the organization now known as Embracing Our Differences has once again brought public art and more to St. Petersburg for an exhibition that’s up through the end of the month.

Last week, Patrick Arthur, Jackson Vice President of Learning and Engagement at the art and education nonprofit, told WMNF’s Art In Your Ear public affairs program that this year’s show features a healthy balance of young and adult artists, who’ve worked on 50 large, panels featuring photographs, illustrations and paintings all adorned with quotes and explainers.

The exhibition, Jackson explained, incites conversation, which hopefully opens viewers to the organization’s message of kindness and respect.

There’s no cover for “Embracing Our Differences” which is at Poynter Park in St. Petersburg through Monday, March 31.
