Never Gonna Give You Up - Call for Art for our Cabinets of Curiosity

Even if you’re not sentimental about objects, chances are you have something in your home that you don’t use or display, but also can’t get rid of: the tiny, faded newborn hat that came home with you from the hospital, the rubber dinosaurs you loved and knew all the names of in 2nd grade, the middle school sports trophies you’re still a little proud of, or the cross stitch with your name on it that your grandma spent many hours making for your high school graduation. Every time you get out that box, you go through it, relive a few pieces of your personal history, think to yourself, “What should I do with this stuff?” and then reconfigure the careful tetris of the objects and close it back up for the next ten years.

There’s certainly merit to reexamining our relationship with stuff—curbing our appetite for consumption and reminding ourselves that our deepest satisfactions don’t lie in trendy home updates or the newest water bottle fad. But it’s worth recognizing too that our tendency toward overconsumption and wastefulness is more often a result of viewing material things as having too little value rather than too much, as disposable rather than useful, as burden rather than gift.

This exhibition in miniature is a celebration of that which is, perhaps, functionally useless, but somehow precious. We may have a variety of feelings about the things we’ve saved: tenderness, frustration, guilt, gratitude, obligation, but probably not apathy. So, for once in their long material lives, let’s bring them out of the boxes and into the light. Chances are you have something like that. Chances are, it has a story to tell.

Objects will be displayed in a set of historic cabinets. Any 2-D, 3-D, time-based, or digital work will be considered.

New workshop happening next week!

Join visiting artist Mami Takahashi for an introduction to Kintsugi, the Japanese art of repairing broken ceramics. More than a repair technique, Kintsugi offers a way of thinking about care, impermanence, and the ongoing relationships we have with the objects and communities around us.

The evening will begin with a conversation inspired by Intersect’s Dream Street exhibition, exploring themes of repair, memory, and community care. Participants will then learn a beginner-friendly Kintsugi process and repair a prepared ceramic piece to take home.

No prior experience is necessary. All materials will be provided. This class is suitable for participants ages 16 and up.

Where: Intersect Arts Center, 3636 Texas Ave, St Louis MO 63118

When: Wednesday, June 10, 2026 | 5:30pm - 8:30pm

5:30–6:00 PM: Gallery conversation on repair, care, and community

6:00–8:30 PM: Hands-on Kintsugi workshop

Class Fee: $20 - proceeds from this class will be used to help prep Intersect’s lower lot on Jefferson to become a splash pad and play area for our community!

Thanks to everyone who came out for our very first Cabinets of Curiosity event last night, celebrating the incredible work by ! She gave an amazing artist talk helping unpack her work as a scientist and how that work and her work as an artist helps her to love and appreciate some of the weirdest and wildest little creatures in this world! Her work in the cabinets invites us to do the same, to see things we might naturally fear or think are gross and instead find delight and wonder in bugs, spiders, and sea slugs!

If you missed the event, not to worry, you can still see her work in the cabinets from now through May 3, 2026 anytime you come thru our lobby! Our office hours are Tuesday-Saturday, 11am-5pm

We are so excited to announce our newest exhibition space! Right in our lobby are two historic cabinets that currently house incredible work by , our inaugural Cabinets of Curiosities artist!

Duygu is an artist and scientist whose work delights the eyes with color and wonder! Infesting the cabinets with worms, bugs, and all things squirming, this show dares us to get curious and find beauty in what repels, and to love nature not despite its strangeness, but because of it.

Starting at 6pm, you’ll get to experience B. Duygu Özpolat’s work in the cabinets, enjoy some refreshments, and see the current gallery show, Interstitium. Then, at 7pm we’ll gather in the gallery to hear from the artist about her research as a scientist and how it impacts her work as an artist.

This event is free to attend, but a RSVP is recommended; use the events tabs on our website or the link in our bio to learn more and rsvp!

Hope to see you there!

We are so thrilled to have local chef and plant-based eating expert Caryn Dugan ( ) as the chef for this Dovetail! Chef Caryn Dugan will be crafting some custom charcuterie to help us envision the play and possibility in a diverse gut-healthy diet!

Our gut microbiomes are complex communities of trillions of microorganisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi) in the digestive tract that acts as a vital organ system. It is essential for breaking down dietary fiber, synthesizing vitamins (like B and K), regulating the immune system, protecting against pathogens, and influencing metabolism and brain health.

One of the best ways to help keep our gut micro-biomes healthy and flourishing is through plant-food diversity. Experts recommend that each week you consume 30 distinct plant foods; using vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains, nuts/seeds, herbs/spices you can create a micro-biome supporting diet that is delectable, creative, and easy to make!

To illustrate this, Chef Caryn is crafting charcuterie that incorporates 30 plant-based ingredients. All of the foods for this Dovetail are completely plant based/vegetarian friendly.

There is still time to get tickets and join us! Use the link in our bio, or check out our website under the events tab.
