Event Description

About the Event

Join a movement! Slow Art Day is an international event encouraging people of all ages to visit community art spaces and to look at art slowly.

Participate in Slow Art Day 2024 to:

  • Explore NMWA’s renovated galleries
  • Feed your soul
  • Spark your creativity
  • Connect with other art lovers
  • Discover and connect with new artworks
  • Name five women artists

How It Works:

Join us to look closely at a limited number of artworks. NMWA educators will provide a small selection of art to consider along with slow-looking prompts to help you get started. You are encouraged to examine at least five works of art from the options provided for 10 minutes each. You can do this alone or with loved ones.

Then join an in-person conversation to connect with other art lovers, discuss the experience of slow looking, and learn more about the selected artworks. A NMWA educator will facilitate this conversation.
