MEMORY LANE — An International Juried Exhibition
Some memories refuse to stay in the past. They return as a color, a familiar street, a face we can still see clearly—or a feeling that finds its way into our art.
Memory Lane invites artists to turn those echoes into something new. Show us a moment you’ve carried with you, a place you see differently now, or a memory transformed into shape, texture, and color. Your work can be joyful, bittersweet, vivid, or wonderfully unexpected.
Where does your art take you when you look back? Submit your work now.
The past doesn’t stay in the past. It finds its way into the colors we choose, the places we return to, the faces we imagine, and the feelings that make us pick up a brush, a camera, or a piece of clay.
Palm Art Gallery invites artists to take that journey with **Memory Lane**, an exhibition about the experiences that continue to shape what we create today.
Memory can be vivid or hazy. It might be the light in a childhood kitchen, a street that no longer looks the same, a song that brings back an entire summer, or a person whose presence still fills a room. Sometimes the memory itself is the subject. Sometimes it is only a trace, transformed into color, texture, movement, or form.
We’re interested in that transformation. How does a moment from years ago become a work of art made now? What happens when an artist revisits a place, reimagines a story, or gives shape to a feeling that has stayed with them? Personal memories can become images that feel familiar to strangers; shared histories can take on an intimate new voice.
Your work need not illustrate a memory literally. It may be joyful, wistful, playful, complicated, or difficult to explain. It may draw on your own life or on the stories and places that have shaped you. What matters is the connection between past experience and present expression.
Look through the work you have made, or follow a memory somewhere new.
