Before the Museum opens and the galleries are still quiet, take time to slow down, look closely and make personal connections with a single work of art from the Museum’s Collection. This month, a museum educator will guide a discussion on Dr. Charles Smith's sculpture Spot.
After the Slow Look, enjoy a coffee in CLEO and visit the other exhibitions when IAM opens at 11 AM.
What is a slow look?
A Slow Look is an invitation to pause with us and experience what happens when we stay with one image long enough for it to speak back.
Together, we spend 45 minutes with a single work of art in the gallery. We begin by grounding ourselves in the space and stepping away from the pace of everyday life. Guided by an IAM educator, we use our senses to notice what we see, feel and discover.
We may notice materials, techniques, ideas or emotions. We may sit in silence, share observations, ask questions or explore together. You do not need to be an expert. Just come ready to be present.
A Slow Look is time spent with art and with each other, a shared moment of attention and a chance to return to the simple act of looking together.
