For couples looking for a creative Valentine’s date, Nickel Plate Arts will provide Valentine’s Date Nights on three different evenings in February. From 6 to 9 p.m. on Feb. 14, 15, and 16, the popular art-infused activities for couples is back for another year and will go way beyond candy hearts and red roses.
Six separate Valentine’s art stations at Nickel Plate Arts’ downtown Noblesville campus will engage couples in a variety of romantically-themed art stations. Couples can choose to participate in one or all six stations. The event will also feature live music and offer wine and beer from local breweries and wineries.
Nickel Plate Arts’ Executive Director Ailithir McGill loves using the arts to bring people together.
“We guarantee success at each of our art stations because the main goal is to have fun and get to know your date a little better,” said McGill. “No matter how long you’ve been together, I am certain that you’ll learn something new about your Valentine as you create art together. Our activities will give you the chance to explore a new perspective and to take creative risks that will help your relationship grow in new directions. Each year, we see couples create amazing things together, including great memories. There’s no place I’d rather be on Valentine’s Day – I look forward to helping to make your date night a creative adventure!”
McGill stressed that no creative or artistic skills are required for this event.
Nickel Plate Arts will offer a variety of other opportunities for people to engage in Valentine’s Day-related activities. On Saturday, Feb. 9, families can come to Nickel Plate for Family Valentine’s Day Drop-in Art Projects. Heartwarming art stations will allow families to create art together to give as gifts or keep as mementos of Valentine’s Day 2019.
Throughout the month of February, Nickel Plate Arts’ Judge Stone House gallery will feature an exhibit entitled “In the Name of Love,” which will display artwork from artists in the Nickel Plate Arts region that explores the sentiments of affection, devotion and friendship, to name a few. “In the Name of Love” opens during Nickel Plate’s First Friday event from 6 to 9 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 1.
