The Cape Cod Museum of Art invites visual artists to submit artwork for an exhibition titled: INTERIORS 

INTERIORS can mean various things to different people. It can be a representational viewpoint from inside a home, workplace, studio or cafe - often it can have a nostalgic sensibility or invoke a feeling of security. A person might identify with a place of worship, or even a forest, to express their internal self.  Internalized feelings and emotions may resonate within an artwork. How would you express the concept of interior?
