Gallery dates can be as stimulating or as low-key as you like, and there is usually no time limit, leaving two people undisturbed for some quality time to get to know each other. This means they are perfect spots for that first date or Valentine’s Day special.
The less conventional venue can also signal to a date that you’re inquisitive and open-minded (though don’t make it an opportunity to simply flaunt your knowledge – more on that in the next section). Looking at art can prompt a breadth of conversations that provide insight to a person’s character, worldview and values, because art often reveals something about ourselves and our society. As do our responses to it. How does your date relate to the topic of an artwork, intellectually or emotionally?
