International Slow Art Day

Slow Art Day is a global event to help people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert or expertise.

One day each year people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly. Participants look at works of art for ten minutes each and then talk about their experience. The goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing.

Over 1,200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010. Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents at 700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites).
