INteriors Exhibit - Call for Art

Exhibition: January 9 – March 12, 2026
Application period: Through November 5, 2025 at 2 pm EST

INteriors is an exploration of inner spaces, both real and imagined, spaces of the home and of the mind.

Some Thoughts

  • Interiors are found both in the domestic and metaphysical spheres. What do these interiors look like? What do they contain?
  • Who’s living rent free in your head?
  • When does an interior need re-designing? Or, the furniture moved around? Why?
  • Is your interior a fun house? A house of horrors? A hoarder’s paradise? Is your interior pristine? Do you leave your shoes at the door upon entering?
  • How do the objects in the interior reflect what’s in the occupant’s mind? How does what’s in the occupant’s mind shape the interior space?
  • Bringing the outside in is a component of interior design. It roots/references the surrounding landscape in the interior. Is this component an abstraction? Or, a touch stone? Or, a way to avoid actually being outdoors? What does this look like?

Looking For

  • Visual art in 2D + 3D, made by the applicant between 2023 – 2025.
  • Innovative, fresh responses that move beyond the easiest answer.
