What’s love got to do with it? A lot of mixed emotions, as seen in the works in a new exhibition in time for Valentine’s Day. The show, up Feb. 12 to 28, will reflect “passion, desire, polarities, self-display, grief, romance, or perhaps love’s impending doom?” There’ll be art by Sharon Van Starkenburg, Patti Normand, Alex Chowaniec, Brandon McVittie and others. 358 Richmond Rd., next to MEC.
