I’m always looking for thoughtful, interesting, accessible and jargon-free writing about art and the power of slow art.
Thus, when Maggie Levine, who runs the ArtWrite Substack, published a lovely essay on slow art and Slow Art Day, I wanted to bring it to the Slow Art Day community.
Take a moment and enjoy her writing (and photography). I particularly like her description of her trip to Naoshima, an “art island” in the Seto Inland Sea.
