happening this month Opens 21 st Anniversary Exhibit Winning artists and quoters from around the region and country at Embracing Our Differences’ Grand Opening Celebration at Bayfront Park Best-in-Show quotation winner, Jessie O., and artist Michael White ore than 4,000 people attended Embracing Our Differences’ 21st anniversary exhibition’s grand opening on January 21, in Sarasota’s downtown Bayfront Park. The occasion showcased performances by Jah Movement, and local arts and education organizations enriched the atmosphere with interactive booths and family-friendly activities. EOD representatives took the opportunity to acknowledge the Best-in-Show art and quotation winners, and the event had many of the featured artists and quoters, who were honored for their selected works on display. Deputy City Manager Pat Robinson and Judge Charles E. Williams, EOD’s board chair, welcomed the crowd and City Commissioner Debbie Trice further affirmed the City of Sarasota’s commitment to EOD’s core values of kindness, respect, and inclusion. EOD Executive Director Sarah Wertheimer highlighted the organization’s achievements over its 21-year history. She underscored the ever-expanding impact of EOD’s outdoor exhibition, which has grown significantly since its inception in 2004. With nearly 4.5 million visitors over the years, the exhibition has not only captivated local audiences but has also become an attraction for out-of-town visitors. Wertheimer also announced a new development for EOD—the exhibition’s expansion to St. Petersburg this March. “We’re proudly celebrating a significant milestone in 2024,” she said. “We’re unveiling our exhibit in St. Petersburg’s Poynter Park for the first time in 21 years.” Sharing the historical context, Wertheimer explained that the exhibit first appeared in St. Petersburg in 2003 as part of the “Coexistence” exhibit on loan from the Museum on the Seam in Jerusalem, Israel. Sheila D. McKoy, EOD’s exhibition director stated that this year’s response to the call for artwork and inspirational quotations was had 16,604 entries from 125 countries and 44 states. Students from 584 schools around the world submitted artwork or quotations to the juried exhibit. EOD’s Sarasota exhibit runs through April 14 in Bayfront Park, Sarasota. The exhibit will also be on display, March 2-31, in Poynter Park, St. Petersburg, with an opening event on March 2. 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.

Grywinski specializes in difficult issues with great success How Craniosacral Therapy Can Be Life Changing “Doctors, physical therapists, massage therapists and chiros gave me little relief. Terry relieved my pain, after all these years! He has also helped four of my other friends. The man is an angel, with a gift from God....thank you Terry!!” “After 3 sessions, I had more range of motion and mobility in my neck, shoulders and hips. I was getting to the point where walking and moving was difficult. It feels like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, my voice is stronger and my energy is greatly increased. I feel much calmer and more grounded!!” “I no longer feel physically sick each morning. No gastroenterologist or physician has ever properly diagnosed my mucus build up until now. As well as bringing about healing in my gut, he released an incredible amount of tension in my upper body.” “The question is where has he been all my life? Terry is a true healer and if you are serious about being well, you are in luck. He is effective and lovely.” 2ART nd Annual CRAWL HISTORY TROLLEY HOP WEEK January March 12 • February 12, 13, 14 • 910 • March AM or 18 PM • April 12 2nd Fridays: 5-9 PM Englewood Hop On At The • Sarasota Trolley Cottage • Venice Hop Our Annual Off At Celebration 6 Gallery Hub of Sarasota Locations County While History You Enjoy A Public Art Tour Led By Jerome Chesley Murder Mystery Trolley: WHO KILLED THE CIRCUS QUEEN? “FUN!
