Hallmark may compare every sweetheart “to a summer day,” but when even the Bard cannot express your true non-commercial feelings, join local artists in a Valentine’s Day card or gift-making party! They provide the material, you provide the poetry. Come down to the Henry Education Studio located in the Henry Art Gallery on Saturday, February 2nd!
