Wooden Shoe be Mine? ArtPoint’s Dutch-inspired Valentine’s event attracted some 1,100 young professionals to the de Young Museum after-hours on February 9, 2013. The appeal? Two current exhibitions, Girl with a Pearl Earring: Dutch Paintings from the Mauritshuis and Rembrandt’s Century, plus music from Vin Sol, Dutch-style food, and specialty cocktails.
