Looking for an artistic way to spend Valentine's Day with someone special? Shepard Fairey's Subliminal Projects is partnering with INNOCNTS on the second edition of We Are The Romantic Ones, a Saint Valentine’s Day group exhibition including emotive-driven painting, photography, drawing, sculpture, and installation.
The exhibition will run from February 14th through March 3rd. The opening reception on Valentine’s Night will include a special live performance by Kapeesh and a vinyl DJ set by Jordan Blackmon (Toro y Moi).
