Gallery Grounds invites artists to participate in an inspiring exhibition commemorating the anniversary of Titanic’s fateful voyage. Rather than solely depicting the Titanic itself, “Unsinkable Memories” explores broader themes of maritime culture, resilience at sea, memories preserved by the ocean, the timeless human connection with maritime heritage, and the human dimensions of sea migration, including refugee journeys and narratives of displacement.
Artists from all disciplines—painting, sculpture, photography, installations, mixed media, and digital art—are encouraged to submit works inspired by maritime life, nautical traditions, journeys across the sea, migration stories, and the emotional and symbolic meanings of sea voyages. We welcome creative interpretations that connect emotionally and conceptually with Titanic’s legacy, the spirit of maritime adventure, humanity’s enduring relationship with the ocean, and contemporary experiences of migration via maritime routes.
All exhibited artworks will be available for sale during the exhibition period.
