The latest iteration of House of Tarot's immersive art show is a thought-provoking experience that invites visitors to immerse themselves in the world of healing and Brigid, the queer Celtic goddess of fire, poetry, and wisdom. The exhibition, which partners with Imbolc Detroit, takes place at the Boyer Campbell Building and features 13 artists interpreting cards from the Minor Arcana.
As I walked through the various rooms, each space presented a distinct sensory and emotional experience. Some areas were densely packed with paintings, while others featured abstract installations that blended seamlessly into the surroundings. One of the most striking pieces was Melissa Webb's King of Cups installation, where three people became entangled in green and blue fibers, becoming part of the artwork itself.
The room was designed to evoke a sense of reclamation of the Earth by wildness, with artist Webb stating that her work aims to "reclaim the earth by wildness—a less human-centered future where we learn to live and thrive in symbiosis with the natural world." The installation felt both meditative and intentionally chaotic, leaving visitors to ponder their own relationship with material possessions and success.
Another thought-provoking piece was Jesse Kassel's Nine of Pentacles room, which presented a disorienting experience that challenged viewers' perceptions. The space resembled a cluttered office, but as one looked closer, they could see both interpretations: abundance and luxury or insecurity and materialism. This duality was intentional, leaving room for the viewer to consider their own success.
Despite feeling slightly less immersive than its predecessor, House of Tarot remains one of the most compelling art experiences in the city. The live music performance added a unique layer of atmosphere to the exhibition, making it an experience that felt both intentional and meditative. As the show continues to evolve through new card interpretations and artists willing to take risks with their work, I look forward to seeing where this iteration will lead.

This latest House of Tarot show is like a wild ride for your soul 
I mean, I've seen some trippy art exhibitions in my time, but this one's on another level 
And that Melissa Webb installation? Mind. Blown. 
Like, what even is real and what's just part of the artwork? 
It's like, you're not sure if you're the one stuck in the fibers or the artwork itself 
. The way they wove together art, music, and spirituality was so cool! I totally agree that Melissa Webb's installation about reclaiming the earth was so mind-blowing 
. And oh man, Jesse Kassel's room was like, so thought-provoking 
. I mean, who hasn't felt like they're stuck in some kind of materialistic rut? 
. Can't wait to see what other artists come up with next 
and it was literally the most breathtaking view of the lake... but then i started thinking about how the house of tarot show is kinda like that too, you feel me? like, they're creating this whole immersive world where u can explore and get lost in these different emotions and experiences. and it got me thinking, what's the point of getting lost if we don't have a map to find our way back to ourselves? 
and sorry, what were we talking about again? 
And I think it's interesting how they're trying to make success look like a mess - because let's face it, most of us are just trying to figure out how to adult. It's all about perspective, right? The question is, who gets to set that perspective for the rest of us? 
. Overall, I think House of Tarot's latest show is a must-see for anyone looking to challenge their perspectives and tap into some inner magic 
You know what struck me about this art show? It's like they took all these tarot cards and turned them into mirrors for us to reflect on our own lives 
. And Jesse Kassel's Nine of Pentacles room? That was like a reality check for me – did I see abundance or just clutter? 
.
, and don't even get me started on the cluttered office vibe... it's like, what's the point of success if you're just gonna be stressed about material possessions?!
