THEME AND DESCRIPTION
Can you recall your first or an early memory from your childhood? Was it a fun one or painful one? Do you have memories of someone else’s childhood that you can’t forget or that inspire you? Have you even made art about these memories or the acts and feelings that have attached them to your remembrances? Whether we recognize it or not, early memories can color our perceptions of the world for years. Not in the Freudian sense that childhood determines adulthood but in terms of persistent fragments of memory that unexpectedly crop up in our thoughts, works, and perceptions. This exhibit is an invitation to act on those memories by making them into a tangible form that can be shared with others in our salon format.
On opening night, we conduct a salon in which artists have the option of telling the story behind one of their entries. This ever popular activity provides fascinating insights that make the works so much more accessible. If you provide a brief written text of your story in the registration form we will print it and display it next to your work.
