Valentine’s Day is around the corner, which means it is time to plan how you’ll be celebrating. If you’re like many other art lovers, you’re looking for something more visually appealing than a movie and dinner. If you’re lucky, you’ll get to spend the holiday doing something you love and receive gifts that you actually enjoy. No matter who you spend the day with, you can fall in love with the beauty of art of Valentine’s Day with these ideas.
Visit an Art Gallery
If you’re an art lover, or dating one, this is where you should be spending your Valentine’s Day. Galleries can feel romantic without being cheesy. Art can be a great conversation starter, as it’s meant to make you stop, appreciate the details, and discuss with others. The Arrowhead Gallery ETC is open until 8 pm, giving you the perfect way to start your Valentine’s Day off right.
Take an Art Class
You hear it all the time. People say if you want to grow closer, learn something together. You may be a painter, but want to learn more about photography or scratchboard. With classes readily available within driving distance to most cities, learning has never been easier. To have a romantic date, you can search for a wine and paint night pop-up class.
Buy an Artsy Gift
Art is subjective, but its importance is not. Instead of wasting money on something that will die or break quickly, invest in art. It can bring a room together, draw emotion, and last for a century when properly taken care of. Buy it for a loved one or buy one you love for yourself. Either way, everyone should own at least one piece of good art.
This Valentine’s Day, don’t get stuck doing the same boring thing you do every year. Make it count. You can spoil the artist of your life with moments and gifts that mean more than any other date night idea. There are far worse ways you could spend your holiday than investing in your artistic side.
