Tolerance Posters

We are pleased to inform you that in 2025, we helped organize 27 Tolerance Poster Shows in 14 countries: Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Serbia, Switzerland, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Thailand, and the USA.   Despite the politically and economically challenging times, we managed to continue sharing the Tolerance Project with an audience around the world. These shows brought us to a total of 235 shows in more than 50 countries around the world. We hope to have more shows in 2026, especially in the United States, because of the 27 shows held last year, just one was in the United States.   You can see all of our shows from the past year and beyond here .    

We are pleased to let you know that there are still some Tolerance Posters on display in Sofia , despite the removal of the outdoor exhibition.

  As a present from my friend, I received this beautiful painting by Brad Holland . He was probably the most influential American illustrator after the WWII.   Not only was I gifted the painting, I also received two pieces of reference material Brad used to create his painting—a Polaroid of his assistant Jonathan Twingley and the yamaka which he was wearing in the polaroid.   Brad turned the yamaka with concentric rings into an archery target by adding characteristic colours. He painted this to create a poster for my Tolerance Project Inc. , the traveling Tolerance Poster Show.    Brad Holland was my friend. His work and personality had tremendous influence on me. Because of his illustration, " The Junkie " from 1971, I became a professional illustrator.   I miss him a lot.
