Slow Art Day Basics

Here are some basic options for how Slow Art Day works around the globe.

Click on the list of 2027 venues, find one near you and register online (it's free).

Attend and look at 5 pieces of art slowly

Show up on Saturday, April 3, 2027 at your venue, pay the admission fee (if there is one) and then look slowly - 5-10 minutes - at each piece of pre-assigned art.

Some museums pick 5 pieces of art, others may concentrate on 1 or 2 - while yet others will give more options.

Discuss your experience

In some cases, you can meet up with your host and the other participants at a pre-assigned lunch spot.

In other cases, museums will facilitate discussions in front of each piece of art.

Whatever the design, what all Slow Art Day events share is a focus on slow looking and its transformative power.
