Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission: Help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. Held each year on the second Saturday in April, Slow Art Day has more than 100 institutions participating around the world, each encouraging visitors to look at art slowly, and then meet to talk about their experiences. While we share personal associations with the art, we can also make interpersonal connections with other participants.
