The 'Total Tolerance' exhibit, hosted by the U.S. Department of Education, features student artworks from the National YoungArts Foundation, focusing on crucial issues such as racism, sexism, and diversity. Spanning over two months, this initiative aims to underscore the necessity of integrating arts education into the academic curriculum. Young artists, including Ameya Okamoto and Aidan Forster, shared their experiences and the emotional weight behind their work, highlighting the importance of openness and acceptance through creative expression.
