Drop-In Tour: Slow-Art Day Teaser Tour

Most people spend less than 30 seconds with a work of art – far too little to discover what’s there. This interactive tour invites you to slow down, look closely, and notice the details, emotions, and ideas that emerge when you give an artwork more time. Together, we’ll practice simple techniques to deepen your attention and sharpen your looking skills.

Put your new skills to use during Slow Art Day on Saturday, April 11.
