International “Slow Art Day”
April 5 @ 1:00 pm
Join Curator of Education Sorcha Meek Paul for Slow Art Day in a lively discussion while looking closely at two paintings in our collection. Slow art requires the viewer to slow down and take the time to really look and delve deeply. Looking creates dialogue which then reveals details, understanding, and life-long skills for looking at and connecting with art and art museums. No experience necessary. Included with general admission.
In an art world too often driven by money or the latest technology (NFTs, for example), Slow Art Day is passionately retro. We advocate an ancient practice – one at least as old as the paleolithic cave paintings in Lascaux, France – and that is this: slow down and look.
