Never Forget
"Every Story Leaves A Trace"
Serendipity Studio invites artists of all visual mediums to submit work for our upcoming exhibition, Never Forget.
Memory is fragile, yet powerful. It binds us to loved ones, places, and experiences, shaping who we are and how we see the world. Never Forget invites artists of all mediums to create works that honor remembrance in its many forms—personal, collective, historical, or symbolic.
This exhibit asks: What do you carry forward? Is it a face, a touch, a song, a place, a story whispered from one generation to the next? Is it a history that must not be lost? A small object that holds enormous weight? A community moment that echoes across time?
Artists are encouraged to reflect on:
Personal Remembrance: memorials, heirlooms, photographs, rituals of grief and gratitude.
Collective Memory: community histories, public events, shared symbols of resilience.
The Memory of Place: landscapes, homes, and sacred spaces that linger in our minds.
Witness & Legacy: stories of resilience, truth-telling, and honoring those who came before.
This exhibition explores remembrance in its many forms—from personal stories and family heirlooms to community histories, sacred rituals, and the quiet details of daily life that echo long after they’ve passed.
All mediums are welcome. Apply now!
