Slow Art Day

Slow Art Day

SATURDAY, APRIL 2, 2022 AT 10 AM – 1 PM

 

Slow Art Day (founded in 2010) is an annual global event with a mission to help more people discover the joy of looking at and learning to appreciate art. Slow Art Day 2022 is celebrated internationally on Saturday, April 2. This year the Lincoln Arts Institute in Historic Downtown will join in and invite their community to come and experience art slowly alongside cities, museums, and galleries in Northern Ireland, Denmark, Australia, Hungry and around the world on all seven continents, including Antarctica. www.slowartday.com.
Slow Art Day has three basic components.
1st find out who is participating locally.
2nd attend and look at three-five pieces of art slowly, allowing 3-10 minutes to view each piece of designated artwork.
3rd reflect about the Slow Art Day experience in your community
Why slow?
When people look slowly at a piece of art, they make discoveries. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert (or expertise). And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.
*Over 1,500 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since their official launch in 2010.
*Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents, including Antarctica.
*700 venues (museums, galleries, artist studios, sculpture parks, public art sites, etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.
