Join a movement! Slow Art Day is an international event encouraging people of all ages to visit museums and to look at art slowly.
Why?
Participants are encouraged to examine at least five works of art for 10 minutes each and then talk, write or post to social media about their experience. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing.
Don’t worry, museum staff will be present to provide you with artwork suggestions and questions to consider!
