Blacksburg Museum and Cultural Foundation

In the Main Gallery: Tolerance Poster Project
2026-04-01 - 2026-04-30 | Alexander Black House, 204 Draper Rd SW, Blacksburg, VA, 24060, United States
The Tolerance Project is a traveling poster show initiative, a bold enterprise founded and curated by artist-activist Mirko Ilic. The show features posters by prominent artists from around the world whose only direction is to illustrate the word “tolerance” in their native language.
This April, galleries and businesses throughout Blacksburg will unite to display Tolerance posters from many of these designers. The XYZ Art Gallery will also feature work by Graphic Design students in Meaghan Dee’s Advanced Typography class. Each gallery features unique works, so please join us in visiting all locations.
The gallery crawl on April 10 includes BMCF’s gallery at the Alexander Black House, Bird Block Studios, Miller off Main, The Lyric Theatre, and XYZ Art Gallery.
Show runs April 7 – April 30 at BMCF.
