Brooks Dental Studio, also the home of ArtSpace B, is celebrating Valentine's Day four days early by hosting an exhibit of Chris Sharp's "message-laden paintings." The first hundred guests will receive a handmade valentine by the aforementioned Sharp, plus a free decal. The event also marks the grand debut of 253heart.com, an online gallery of works by new artists, with that now-ubiquitous logo by Daniel Blue.
