Love is in the Air … This Week in Atlantic Canada
Par Martin van Maële |
Love is in the air this week, but the Atlantic
Canadian arts are our Valentine every day of the year! (too sappy?)
If you would like to take that special someone
out on a date, or multiple dates this week, what’s more romantic than an exhibit,
a play, an art lecture, a dance party or a cabaret? And if you’re single don’t be scared to
mingle…You may meet your arts-loving soul mate attending an event, such as one
these featured below.
