We are pleased to let you know that November 13, 2026, will mark the official opening of “The Tolerance Project,” at Temple Sharey Tefilo-Israel, a Reform synagogue in South Orange NJ.

The 46 posters are on exhibit in public access areas of the synagogue and will be on display until May 2027. In Spring 2027, members of the TSTI community will be invited to contribute their own artistic renditions to the exhibit.

The show was made possible through the efforts of Felix Aarts, Chair of The Gallery at TSTI, and the TSTI Art Committee, with special thanks to Susan Siegeltuch, Lisa Suss, Jennifer Katz, Deborah Green Taffet and Debbie Grossman, with the encouragement and support of Rabbi Allie Klein, Tracy Horowitz and the TSTI staff.

We are honored to share that on July 8, 2026, we had the privilege of seeing the Tolerance Poster Show travel to the Heart Mountain Interpretive Center in northwestern Wyoming, located near Yellowstone National Park. The Poster Show went up in the museum's Mineta Simpson Institute, a lecture hall dedicated to the friendship across racial, territorial, and political differences between Senator Al Simpson and Secretary Norman Mineta.

Heart Mountain was the site of one of ten camps where innocent Japanese American civilians were confined by their own government during World War II. In February of 1942, as America went to war in the Pacific, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Executive Order 9066, authorizing the forcible relocation and incarceration of over 100,000 Japanese Americans on the basis of their ethnicity. The Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation continues to educate visitors about the hardship imposed by the United States government on its own people in the name of a national security threat that did not exist.

The Heart Mountain Tolerance Poster Show was curated by Cally Steussy (Director of Interpretation and Preservation for the Heart Mountain Wyoming Foundation) with the assistance of Mackenzie Legler and Michael McDaniel, and was made possible through the support of Stephanie Anderson of the University of Wyoming.

On July 14th, on top of the building at 1700 N Charles Street in Baltimore, Maryland, a digital billboard displayed a rotating collection of 40 Tolerance Posters. This showcase will run through July 21st in association with LED Baltimore.

Thanks to Laura Quigley from LED Baltimore and David Plunkert for their help with displaying the Tolerance Poster billboard.

These posters are being displayed concurrently with a Tolerance Poster Show hosted at the Maryland Institute College of Art’s (MICA) Brown Center, which also opened on the building’s 3rd floor on the 14th. The posters selected for this show are all illustrated Tolerance Posters, as both the billboard and the Poster Show are running concurrently with the Illustration Conference 13, or ICON13, also hosted at MICA.

This show was made possible with the tireless effort of Brockett Horne and their students at MICA.

This show marks our 250th Tolerance Poster Show, coincidentally during July 2026, the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence in the United States.
