CURIOSITY BLDG

ARTCRUSH! is an IRL social networking event designed from the structure of speed dating to emphasize 1- 1 interactions. It is an opportunity for us to collapse the distance of online social networks by providing local creatives a chance to connect with each other face-to-face and build a broader community across many genres, backgrounds and cultures.

How does it work?
Upon arrival, participants will be split into two color groups (blue and green) and be seated at stations facing each other. When a bell is rung, one group rotates to the next station while the other group remains seated. Over the course of the event, participants are guaranteed to have 10 conversations, each lasting eight minutes. Within each conversation, both participants will have four minutes of time to share about themselves. This can be a good opportunity to practice one’s 'elevator pitch’ - basically who you are and what you like to do - but stripped down to the essentials. Pamphlets are also provided which include prompts, such as, “What excites you about the art/music/design scene here?” or “Who’s work are you excited about right now?” or “Any shows coming up I should know about?” The pamphlets also contain blank pages to write down names of your new acquaintances, as well as the artist recommendations and information about upcoming shows.

Please enjoy some Mimosa Bar and light nibbles compliments of STL.org and STLDW.

Where can I find more information?
ArtCrushes are scheduled monthly and upcoming events are announced through instagram @artcrush.stl.

Lunch at The Fattened Caf

Wednesday October 9, 2024 12:00pm - 1:00pm CDT

The Fattened Caf

Join you Design Week Cherokee neighbors for a lunchtime meet up at The Fattened Caf.

The Fattened Caf specializes in Filipino-inspired cuisine,
particularly known for its mouthwatering BBQ dishes. The menu features a variety of grilled meats,
including pork belly, longganisa (Filipino sausage), and chicken, all marinated in rich, flavorful sauces that
blend sweet, savory, and tangy notes. Accompanied by traditional sides like garlic rice and atchara
(pickled papaya), the dishes showcase the bold, comforting flavors of Filipino street food.

Then continue into a night of programming on Cherokee Street brought to you by The Luminary & NEBULA.

Cherokee Street Walking Tour: Choose Your Flavor

Wednesday October 9, 2024 2:00pm - 3:00pm CDT

The Luminary

Get up close and personal as Jeff and Randy Vines of STL-Style show you why Cherokee Street is the gift that keeps on giving.

It's a known fact that St. Louis is a city oozing with creative soul and grit, and no place proves it more than Cherokee Street. Once known as "downtown of the South Side", Cherokee Street is the quintessential microcosm of St. Louis. Its colorful 1.5 mile stretch transcends political, socioeconomic and cultural boundaries like no other, and its evolution over time has reflected the overall dynamics of the larger city around it. If we took all the different ingredients that make St. Louis an interesting, inspiring and challenging city and put them in a blender, we would end up with a Cherokee Street smoothie. And damn, it's refreshing.

Beginning and ending at the NW corner of Texas & Cherokee.
