Art Calls Fragment: Reflections on Memory
Opportunity Description
International Deadline: January 5, 2025 – Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center invites emerging and established artists to submit original artworks to ‘Fragments: Reflections on Memory.’
This exhibition seeks to explore how individual and collective memory can shape our identity and perception, influencing our understanding of the world around us. Whether through nostalgia, trauma, joy, or loss, memory intertwines with our daily lives and exists as a fluid, shifting narrative. We challenge artists to explore the fragmented nature of memory, its fluidity, distortions, and how the passage of time affects our perception of the past and present.
This exhibition will be open to the public in the Kay Daugherty Gallery of Annmarie Sculpture Garden & Arts Center, from February 21, 2025, to April 27, 2025.
