"Maybe Feb. 14 is a day that conjures for you a specific image - paramours at candlelit two-tops staring longingly into each other's eyes over hulking pasta dishes, a bottle of wine and a dozen red roses. But if that's not your vibe (or that of your darling dearest), the creative minds of D.C.'s curators, restaurateurs and performers have you covered."
"A handmade, in-real-life Valentine's Day card always brings a smile, whether you've created it to tell a special person how much you care or just to thank someone for being a friend. The Paper Hearts Club provides materials - hearts, doilies, stickers, ribbons, rubber cement - and inspiration to craft your own cards at a workshop at the new Atlas Brew Works flagship in Anacostia."
D.C. curators, restaurateurs and performers stage a range of Valentine's events that celebrate romantic and non-romantic love. Options include handmade craft workshops, museum after-hours parties with live Afro-funk music and gallery access, and zine-making and swapping gatherings. The Paper Hearts Club leads a card-making workshop at Atlas Brew Works in Anacostia with supplied materials and optional food and drink; the National Museum of African Art hosts an after-hours event with Chopteeth, crafting stations and a bar. D.C. Zine Fest organizes a Valen-Zine craft and swap at a Park View coffee shop with materials provided for attendees.
