From live music and the arts to hands-on workshops, the borough spreads love the Brooklyn way. The perfect event to create a Valentine's gift for that special someone in your life. The workshop is also perfect for beginners, and an embroidery kit, light snacks, and beverages are included in the admission price."

"Spend a romantic, platonic, or restorative solo Valentine's Day at the Brooklyn Museum, enjoying a variety of art- and poetry-centered activities like custom poems composed by poets from The Poetry Society of New York, decorate a heartfelt card, drawing inspiration from the sculptures in the Egyptian Gallery, or explore iconic feminist artist Judy Chicago's The Dinner Party as a love letter to women artists."
