Free programs complement art Submitted by the Utah Museum of Fine Arts The Utah Museum of Fine Arts’ new ACME Lab, “The International Tolerance Project: Promoting Dialogue Through Design,” features more than twenty artworks by international designers that illustrate the power of visual communication and encourage community dialogue around the unifying theme of tolerance. Featured posters were selected from a larger traveling exhibition, “Tolerance,”, orchestrated by New York-based designer and illustrator Mirko Ilić. The UMFA exhibition is the centerpiece of a citywide display of “Tolerance” posters on view throughout spring 2019 coordinated by Salt Lake City-based artist Dallas Graham. “The International Tolerance Project: Promoting Dialogue Through Design” opens at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 17, at UMFA, 410 Campus Drive at the University of Utah.. It will be on exhibit through Sunday, June 23, at 7 p.m. An artist talk with Mirko Ilić will be held at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 23. A series of hands-on art-making activities will also engage museum visitors in conversation about tolerance and acceptance. Together, the artists and curators hope to inspire viewers to consider their individual and collective roles in working toward a more accepting and understanding global society. The exhibition presents tolerance of others as a starting point toward the broader goal of acceptance. Citywide displays of “Tolerance” posters involve a number of cultural and civic organizations and take a variety of forms. Participating organizations include AIGA Salt Lake, Pioneer Park Coalition, KRCL, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Co., Salt Lake County Arts and Culture, The BLOCKS, Salt Lake County Library, Salt Lake City Public Library-Main Library, Salt Lake Film Society, SB Dance, Ballet West, and Temporary Museum of Permanent Change. A map of all “Tolerance”-related exhibitions in Salt Lake City can be found at participating organizations. “Tolerance” has traveled to eighteen countries around the world, including most recently South Africa, where the exhibition was on view at the Constitution Hill, now used as a museum, in Johannesburg, the infamous prison where Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and other notable activists were once imprisoned. The UMFA exhibition is curated by the Museum’s director of education and engagement Jorge Rojas, ACME coordinator Emily Izzo, and UMFA graphic designers Jodi Patterson and Meredith Bunsawat. Graham, creator of The Red Fred Project, a national nonprofit publishing company, is the local liaison with Ilić. This exhibition and ACME Lab is made possible, in part, by a generous gift from The JoAnne L. Shrontz Family Foundation.
