This year, St. Valentine's Day coincides with NELAart's Second Saturday Art Gallery Night.
Local galleries will be looking at St. Valentine's Day in unique and startling ways.
Avenue 50 Studio at 131 North Avenue 50, pairs visual artists with poets whose poem speaks to a particular painting in the exhibition, creating a visual "call and response". "Intensidad," speaks of artists whose sharply defined work reveals a personality that is passionate in its power of concentration. These artists reach into their souls where inner strength is the source of their intensity.
