If you see one more advertisement for diamonds, are you going to lose it? Are you sick of candy hearts and the commercialization of Valentine’s Day? Join Nickel Plate Arts from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday for an Anti-Valentine’s Day. For $5, join local writers and poets in the Stephenson House (107 S. 8th St., Noblesville) as they read works that speak to the frustrating side of love and romance. Peruse our “Love, Lust and Poetry” art show in the Judge Stone House for free. Snacks, coffee, tea and soft drinks will be provided. For more information, visit nickelplatearts.org.
