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.
