CALL for art: Cabinets of Curiousity!

Intersect Arts Center invites artists to explore their interpretation of the Wunderkammer, or "Cabinet of Curiosity," utilizing historic casework in our Lobby. As the first point of contact for both new visitors and IAC regulars, the lobby serves as a welcoming space and a transitional pathway, guiding the diverse community we serve to their next destination, including our gallery, maker spaces, educational spaces, and private studios. 

The location of the cabinets offer a unique consideration to engage with the current dynamic of the space and their potential to transform the simple passageway into a thought-provoking experience.

Historically, cabinets were collections of enigmatic objects, serving as a window into a collector’s desire to understand the world while simultaneously becoming a reflection of one's identity and even a positioning of social status. We desire to see how your curiosity can fill these cabinets and what could come to life.

We are especially interested in projects that explore the intersections of art with science, nature, identity, and the systems we use to organize and interpret the world—creating a dialogue that deepens our understanding of these connections.
