Do you have an interpretation of an artwork at CAM you’d like to share?   Each week, we feature one interpretation on our blog!  Send your #MyInterpretationMonday to [email protected] and we will feature your perspective on an upcoming Monday!*

This week we wanted a fresh perspective for #MyInterpretationMonday, so we asked kids about Casey Riordan Millard’s Shark Girl with Cincinnati Art Museum. We asked one simple question:  “Where is she going in her fancy dress?”
