I teach visual art at Lakefield College School and we celebrate diversity throughout our school year in various ways. Would love to hear about the mechanics of organizing a show like this. Are there still conections that I could make with the AGO about In Your Face? I would like to do something similar with my school community in Lakefield Ontario.

Perhaps they should be exhibited at city hall as part of a diversity display for March 21st which is "day for elimination of racial discrimination". Those submissions would truly reflect the diversity of "face" in Toronto and GTA. Great ideas.

That would take up less space then putting a selection up and would allow you to show all of them. I bet the contributors would be thrilled to know their works were part of an exhibit, especially if they happened to see them! ;-) What about having them digitized, and then having the images run as a loop on a monitor in the gallery?

I think a book publishing a selection of entries is an especially great one! Why not create a website for the exhibit that features a bunch of the portraits as well?
