Utah Parent Center

The 100 Cleft Portraits Tour is a powerful traveling art exhibition that shares the stories and experiences of individuals affected by cleft lip and palate. Created by UK-based artist, advocate, and trauma-informed coach Katie Manning, the exhibit features 100 striking portraits paired with personal stories that celebrate the strength, resilience, and unique journeys of the cleft community.

The exhibit will be on display at the Utah Museum of Contemporary Art on August 1st and 2nd and is open to all. During the event, Katie Manning will also present Trauma-Informed Essentials, a workshop that draws on her personal experiences and the inspiration behind the collection. The exhibition offers an opportunity to learn, reflect, and celebrate the individuals and families whose lives have been touched by cleft conditions.
