A national movement of representation and belonging arrives in 2026

November 25, 2025 – The American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association (ACPA) is proud to present the U.S. tour of 100 Cleft Portraits, a powerful exhibition created by photographer and advocate Katie Manning. Following its profoundly moving debut in London, the exhibition will travel to hospitals, universities, and community venues nationwide from July–August 2026.

100 Cleft Portraits celebrates the strength, identity, and lived experiences of people born with cleft and craniofacial differences. More than an art display, the exhibition fosters understanding, belonging, and awareness across communities.

“Families who have long felt unseen will see themselves honored,” said Manning. “This project invites people to embrace the truth, beauty, and courage within every cleft journey.”

The tour will visit ACPA Approved Teams in Philadelphia, Salt Lake City, Winston-Salem, Atlanta, Orlando, Grand Rapids, Indianapolis, Chicago, Madison, Kansas City, Houston, and San Diego.

“ACPA is proud to present the 100 Cleft Portraits Tour in the U.S., a powerful celebration of identity and representation,” said Adam Levy, ACPA Executive Director. “Katie’s work shows what we know to be true: every cleft journey deserves visibility, connection, and community. This Tour is only possible because of the commitment of our volunteers and ACPA Approved Teams nationwide.”

ACPA invites partners, sponsors, clinics, and communities to join the movement through sponsorship, donations, hosting opportunities, and media engagement. For more information, visit ACPA’s website or contact the tour team.
