2026 MEMENTO

About MEMENTO:

Humble, ordinary items can become sacred artifacts when they are imbued with personal sentiment. The juried art show, “Memento: Art that Reminds Us” seeks to explore the objects that encapsulate a specific moment in our personal stories, and our attachment to those memories.

The MEMENTO exhibition posits that the IDEA is just as important as the ART. Artists are asked to submit a short (150 word or less) explanation of their interpretation of the MEMENTO theme.

Our discerning jurors weighed the artwork and the essays equally selected 40 diverse pieces of art by:
