LGBTea Dances wanted to support Chester County artists, which led to the creation of For the LOVE of Art. It takes place the weekend after Valentine’s Day.

With its many definitions, “touching” aptly describes the next gallery offering at CRUXspace, 700 Master St. “Tasteful Yet Biting” is also the first show for CRUXspace made up entirely of LGBT artists who were selected from Philadelphia and New York. Works were chosen based upon a broad cross-section of concepts including emotion, evocation, physicality and experimentation.

In the calm quiet just after the blizzard of 2016, things are relatively peaceful at Passional Boutique and Sexploratorium (317 South St.). But with Valentine’s Day and Leather Weekend coming up, business will definitely be getting busier.

Sometimes the best way to celebrate love is a nice dinner, a card, a small gift, some champagne and candlelight — and sometimes, it’s all of those and a getaway for the night. Face it: Even when the sweetheart pseudo-holiday isn’t in play, it’s nice to step back from the snow and gray and routine and change your view.
