Did you know that the quirky masterminds behind one of the funniest exhibits at MCASD's "Here Not There" were neighbors - and B.F.F.'s? Neither did we. Culture Lust Contributor Meredith Hattam sits down with artist Jason Sherry and filmmaker Matt Hoyt to talk about their installation, which chronicles a, uh, garbage man in Antarctica. You know you're curious.

It's an eye candy extravaganza this weekend at 'Survey Select', a new exhibit which offers a modern day twist on the 19th century salon. Featuring over 65 international artists, workshops, a pop-up shop and more, Culture Lust contributor Meredith Hattam explains why you'll definitely want to check it out (bonus: it's free!).

Author Chris Cleave's "Little Bee" is a garnering literary and Hollywood buzz (no pun intended) for its tale of a young Nigerian refugee and a London magazine editor's unlikely connection. Culture Lust contributor Meredith Hattam gave it a read, and she'd like to explain why its themes of redemption and human strength are so effective.

Only the guy who brought you The Linkery could dream up a menu that includes Micheladas alongside pork belly and quail egg terrine and Tosti-locos. Culture Lust contributor Meredith Hattam pays a visit to El Take It Easy, Jay Porter's newest North Park eatery. Bonus - there's art involved!

This Culture Lust weekend, we think you should double your dose of the Bard (starring a "Happy Days" alum!), see what venerable local artist Richard Allen Morris has been up to, and chill out with Maren Parusel.

There are an awful lot of must-hit events this Culture Lust weekend, among them Sushi's hotly anticipated Red Ball, MCASD’s homegrown new exhibit, and the return of Delta Spirit.
