]]> Happy Love Day, readers!

Are you in the Boston area and still looking for somewhere to go with your special someone tonight? Or are you still looking for someone to go somewhere with tonight? Either way, the South End’s Beehive is at your service.

From 10pm EST tonight until 2am tomorrow morning, the Tremont Street club (541 Tremont Street, Boston, 617-423-0069) is holding an oh-so-special Love Ball. Better yet, admission to the first annual event is free, a detail we thrifty folks always love to hear, although you will need money to imbibe alcoholic beverages from the bar.

If you’re game to stop by, you’ll have the opportunity to participate in all sorts of holiday-appropriate activities, such as ogle a few fetching attendees here and partake of a little matchmaking there, all under the watchful, amorous eye of entertainer Ryan Landry and with the one and only Barry White crooning in the background.

The highlight comes at midnight, at which time two lucky people will make nightlife history when they’re crowned the King and Queen of the First Annual Love Ball. How exciting is that? Surf over to the Beehive website to learn more about the club and tonight’s Valentine’s Day festivities.

]]> Art of Love
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, making today a great time to begin getting in the mood for the amorous holiday. Although many associate it with romantic love for a partner or object of desire, love comes in many shapes, sizes, and forms, of course.

The Cambridge Art Association has hosted an annual celebration of the Art of Love for two decades. What makes this event unique is the artwork it showcases, all of which is created by the talented hands and minds of special needs children from numerous schools in the Greater Boston area.

Today from 2pm to 4pm EST, the Cambridge Art association will hold a reception just for the yearly Art of Love exhibit. Children are welcome to the free event, and attendees will be served refreshments and will enjoy a performance by the Cambridge School of Weston’s Pocket Players, a touring children’s theatrical troupe that presents works in American Sign Language and spoken English. There will even be face-painting for the truly bold and playful.

The Art of Love exhibit runs through February 26 at University Place Gallery (124 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, 617-876-0246). The hours are Monday through Friday from 9am to 6pm and Saturdays from 9am to 1pm.
