Columbia is filled with a vibrant mix of everything art, from painting to pasta! Grab some friends and head to Paint the Town or Canvas on Broadway. If it's pottery you like, The Mud Room is your place! Looking for a DIY project?  Try a Valentine's Day couples woodworking class hosted by Sawdust Studios. Maybe edible art is your thing- try a pasta-making class at Pasta La Fata!

Be sure to hit the North Village Arts District downtown and check out Columbia Art League, Orr Street Studios, or Sager Reeves Gallery for a more laid-back browsing experience.

Not into the romantic, mushy Valentine's date? How about axe throwing? You and your loved one are sure to have a fun time at The Axe House! Or, give one of the local escape rooms a try at Breakout Como or MindBreak Escape Rooms. If you're looking for something a little more low-key but still unique, a picnic might be a perfect choice!
