Description

In this newsletter: Announcing the 2025 Art & Soul featured artists, Mad Libs with writer Kaveh Akbar, and Valentine’s things.

It’s basically February already.

For Valentine’s Day, we are asking YOU to leave us a voicemail and tell us who you love. 

These recordings are meant to be anonymous — unless you are a PDA-type person and want us to share your name. 

All you need to do is call ‪(317) 721-5102‬, wait for the beep and speak your romantic words. Use this as an opportunity to save money on flowers or cards.

Here are some ideas:

• Whisper the name of your crush.
• Sing a little jingle.
• Tell your dog or cat or gerbil that you love them. 
• Leaving love notes to grandparents is totally okay, too. 
• Now that I think about it, leaving a love message for public figures is okay too. Just, you know, don’t be weird.

Lastly: try to keep it short and sweet!

We will make an audio story with all these messages and share them with you close to Valentine’s Day.
