Slow Art Day 2023 – Looking At and Loving Art

We have another wonderful Slow Art Day coming up April 15, 2023.

Hundreds of museums and galleries are participating (if you have not yet registered your museum, please do).

Here are some highlights:

Nationalmuseum of Sweden
The Nationalmuseum is Sweden’s museum of art and design. The collections comprise painting, sculpture, drawings and prints from 1500-1900 and applied arts, design and portraits from early Middle Ages up until present day. Their plans for Slow Art Day: They are starting the day with slow yoga and then will follow up with different guided tours, and other slow programs.

15-site Citywide Slow Art Day in Illinois!

As many of you get ready for Slow Art Day 2023, we wanted to share this exciting news: the Bloomington-Normal, Illinois art community currently has *15* locations signed up for their citywide Slow Art Day 2023.

Located on the historic Route 66, these Bloomington artists and galleries are banding together to make Slow Art Day a full citywide celebration of art (and they designed a great poster, as you can see below).
