Whether spending Valentine’s Day with a partner, exploring solo, or enjoying with family and friends, visitors to the Getty Center and Getty Villa have several options for a sweet time this February. A slate of events at both sites, special treats, and the ever present gardens, architecture, art, and breathtaking views make Getty a one stop shop for a heartfelt experience.
What’s on for Valentine’s Day Weekend
For one weekend only at the Getty Villa’s auditorium, Theatre Movement Bazaar and Getty present the premiere of Delphi, a new musical comedy for a special Valentine’s Day experience. The love between old friends and the survival of their beloved Delphi is put to the test as a re-kindled attraction stokes new desires. At Delphi, when you love someone you’ll do just about anything. Tickets are available for $35 and include sweet treats and a glass of bubbly after the show. Performances take place on February 13, 14, and 15 at 7pm.

At XOXO, The Guerrilla Girls: Valentines for a Feminist Future at the Getty Center, you are invited to write letters, postcards, or fan mail to the cause of your choosing. Whether you want to celebrate, critique, or call for change, you’ll leave with your own activist correspondence ready to seal with a kiss, and a renewed sense of how creativity can fuel resistance. This program complements the exhibition How to Be a Guerrilla Girl. Join the event on Saturday, Feb 14 from 12–3pm with a free ticket reservation to the Getty Center.
