| SLOW ART DAY Saturday, April 5 | 10 AM |
|
| Join us at CAM for Slow Art Day, an event encouraging viewers to slow down and intently view art. The intention is that the more you look, the more you will see.
Slow-looking is not driven by curators, historians, or artists telling you how to view art. Instead, it’s about taking your time and allowing yourself to make your own discoveries to develop a more personal connection with the work. LEARN MORE |
