QUICHE
or sardines?

One of my strongest childhood food memories is eating sardines out of the can on the back steps of my grandmother’s house because she couldn’t stand the smell in the kitchen.  Random, but unforgettable. I wonder what my child’s will be?  Lining up green beans like soldiers?  Making a mashed potato volcano?   Who knows?  Memory is a funny thing.  This Call wants to know about your childhood memories.  A great excuse to reminisce…

Check out this Call for Entries from Smithtown Township Arts Council for Childhood Memories to be exhibited at the Mills Pond House Gallery in St. James, NY. This is such a beautiful place to exhibit your work. Take a closer look…

CALL for ENTRIES:
Childhood Memories

Memories are often the inspiration for art.  Artists give life to the characters and environments of our childhood memories, recording fragments of dreams, snippets of passing time, and experiences that have shaped our lives.

This call asks artists to explore childhood memories…the early rituals, the rites of passage, the innocence of early life experiences that celebrate the passionate world of childhood. Examples include childhood memories pertaining to a specific event or experience that has previously occurred.  For example, recollection of an episode among friends or family members in a specific time (holidays), places (school), and/or and memories of the associated emotions of the event.
