Memento Mori is an exhibition that focuses on the themes of life and death. The Latin phrase "memento mori" means "remember that you will die." Vanitas is a notable example, juxtaposing symbols such as skulls, wilting flowers, and wealth to represent the transience of life, the futility of pleasure, and the certainty of death. Memento mori can be a powerful reminder of the fleeting nature of our presence, a source of comfort and inspiration, and a reminder that demise is a natural part of life and that we should make the most of our time on this mortal coil. Show us, what makes life worth living, and how does one cope with the inevitability of death?

Wickford Art Association is launching its National 2023 from Ordinary to Extraordinary exhibit with Juror David DeMelim, an accomplished photographer who resides in Rhode Island.
The title “From Ordinary to Extraordinary” can be interpreted in a variety of ways. Something ‘ordinary’ follows the norm. Something ‘extraordinary’ goes beyond what is expected. Do you have a photograph that captures ‘the wow’ of an image in an ‘extraordinary’ way? The image may even elicit an emotion from the viewer, with a level of poignancy, or amusement.
Perhaps your image takes something ‘ordinary' and pictures it in a new, eye-opening context, making your subject resonate in an ‘extraordinary’ way. This theme can be interpreted in a variety of ways. The above are some prompts to assist photographers when choosing what images to submit for jurying.
We are looking for works from the past three years that haven’t yet been exhibited at our gallery. This is your chance!
