Slow Art Day 2016

This is a worldwide celebration with a simple mission: to help more people take their time and discover for themselves the joy of art. When people look at a piece of art slowly, they can explore, experience, and discover on their own terms. It’s a chance to unlock a newfound appreciation and understanding of art—to inspire creativity and imagination.

We’re excited to welcome museumgoers into our five gallery spaces, which comprise of contemporary works by local, national, and international artists that range widely in subject and in medium. Contemporary art is distinctive in that it reflects and examines the present. By taking some time to look at a painting, installation, or film, we have a chance to gain insight not only into the art but also into our current culture and daily lives.
