The National Gallery of Canada in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, hosted its fourth annual Slow Art Day on April 11, 2026. Andrea Gumpert, Educator of Wellbeing Programs, led the efforts for this year’s event, which invited visitors to either participate in a guided onsite experience, watch a guided slow looking video from home, or engage independently with a bilingual handout that encouraged them to “Slow Down. Reflect. Discover. Engage.”
A mix of English- and French-speaking participants joined Interpreter-Guides Taylor Simard and Eddie Schmidt for an hour-long onsite guided slow looking session. The groups began with a warm-up and introductory conversation about the purpose of slowing down.
Participants then spent five minutes looking at a chosen artwork, followed by a group discussion. They then moved to a different gallery where they repeated the exercise. Following that, participants were invited to explore the museum and select additional artworks for further slow looking. Some explored Indigenous and Canadian galleries, while others gravitated to the European galleries. They were offered folding stools for comfort, and pencils, paper, and sketch boards, many of which were used for drawing.

During the facilitated sessions, the Interpreter-Guides used open-ended prompt questions to facilitate discussion, including: “What is your first impression? Why did you choose this work?” and “Can you associate a word or an emotion to this artwork?” They also encouraged participants to reflect on what the artwork told them about themselves and to jot down a memory or sketch something simple.
Guide Eddie Schmidt noted that participants were “chatty and had great observations, discussion,” while Taylor Simard observed that several participants were “locked in” for the full ten minutes of observation. Both said that participants truly enjoyed the experience, and would return for the Gallery’s monthly Guided Slow Looking Sunday program.
That’s wonderful. Back in 2010, we set a key goal of the Slow Art Day movement: use the annual day to encourage museums to adopt year-round programming and many have like the National Gallery of Canada.
We think this kind of device-off, intensive, real-space experience with other humans is just what our fractured world needs.
We at Slow Art Day HQ are grateful to Andrea Gumpert, Taylor Simard, Eddie Schmidt, and the entire team at the National Gallery of Canada for their continued dedication to our movement and we look forward to seeing what they design for Slow Art Day 2027.
The Wiregrass Museum of Art in Dothan, Alabama, celebrated its sixth Slow Art Day on April 11, 2026, though this doesn’t tell the whole story. Dana Marie Lemmer, the Executive Director of the museum, played a key role as (volunteer) Director of Global Operators in the Slow Art Day movement from 2012 to 2014.
This year, Dana’s colleague, Janin Wise, Art Educator and School Programs & Volunteer Coordinator, hosted the Slow Art Day event using both facilitated discussion and drawing exercises.
Wise invited guests to sit with her for guided slow looking in chairs around a bench in the Marie Saliba Gallery. She started the process by asking “What first caught your eye?”, then by scanning for color and composition, and discussing the artist’s hand.
The featured artworks included:
“Lilly, 2022” by Sam Gilliam, an acrylic with sawdust, encaustic, and polypropylene on canvas with beveled-edge stretcher
“Magnitude of Regions, 1962” by Alice Trumbull Mason, an oil on canvas
“Prelude on Gray, 1982” by Richard Crist, an acrylic on canvas
“Untitled, 1960” by Angelo Granata, an ink on paper
“High Beams, 2020” by Derek Cracco, an acrylic on panel

One family with a 17-year-old daughter was drawn to the texture and color of Gilliam’s “Lilly.” When discussing Alice Trumbull Mason’s “Magnitude of Regions,” the mother expressed both empathy, seeing “sunlight through dark curtains”, and hope, after learning the artist made the work after her son’s death.
At the same time, a Korean American family, participated with an older brother translating for his mother and nonverbal younger brother. That family also appreciated the color and texture, and the geometry of Mason’s piece. Everyone who participated were astonished to learn they could literally see the artist’s hand in Gilliam’s work.

For Derek Cracco’s “High Beams,” a drawing exercise was introduced that led to laughter and discussions about childhood art classes and local art opportunities. Participants folded paper into quarters and completed four different drawing tasks:
a 10-second quick sketch
drawing with their non-dominant hand
drawing without looking at the paper
a continuous line drawing where they imagined changes in time or space
Janin Wise noted that participants were surprised by how relaxing it was to spend so much time with a few pieces of art. Visitors were delighted by the calm, guided slow looking relaxing and by their newfound ability to notice new details and use their imaginations to step into the artwork.
Most did not typically consider themselves “abstract art kind of people” and yet, by slowing down, they thoroughly enjoyed the art.
Yes! That is exactly the kind of discovery Slow Art Day we hope people make.
It turns out that by simply slowing down, participants can find a new relationship to art, including art they may think they don’t like, or don’t understand.
We at Slow Art Day HQ are grateful to Janin Wise and the Wiregrass Museum of Art for their continued dedication to our slow looking movement. We look forward to seeing what they create for Slow Art Day 2027.
The Art Gallery of St. Albert in St. Albert, Alberta, Canada, hosted its seventh Slow Art Day on April 11, 2026. Director Leah Louden and her team encouraged visitors to engage deeply with art through a variety of self-guided activities. The event focused on the current main exhibition, “Ephemeral Language / Langue éphémère” by Sébastien Gaudette, and the staircase feature exhibition, “Knotty Enigmas” by Zana Wensel.
Upon arrival, visitors were invited to use a Slow Looking Guide drafted by the Curator to practice slow looking while exploring the current exhibitions. Staff were on hand to provide additional information.
Visitors of all ages were also invited to participate in several additional activities:
– An iSpy activity encouraged close observation to identify detail shots of 12 artworks throughout the building.
– For the “Ephemeral Language / Langue éphémère” exhibition, an activity booklet offered drawing and educational activities such as drawing a paper illusion, completing a word search, or crafting a paper balloon.
– A drop-in Art Nook activity, called “Creative Crumples,” invited participants to create imaginative drawings from crumpled paper.
Light refreshments were also available, encouraging guests to linger and slowly enjoy the artwork. The event was promoted through their website and social media, and a total of 37 people attended.

One of Sébastien Gaudette’s artworks, “Langage éphémère,” a 2026 paper installation from the “Ephemeral Language / Langue éphémère” exhibition, was featured in an Art Minute video prior to Slow Art Day. This piece was chosen to highlight how a seemingly simplistic artwork could reveal its complexity and beauty through close, slow looking. Guests were surprised by the material of many artworks in Gaudette’s exhibition.
We at Slow Art Day HQ are grateful to Leah Louden and the Art Gallery of St. Albert for their continued dedication to fostering deep engagement with art and were impressed by their innovative self-guided activities. We look forward to seeing what they create for Slow Art Day 2027.
It will begin Saturday, April 11, 2026 in Hong Kong in just a few hours and then move slowly west across the globe, ending nearly 24 hours later in Los Angeles.
At Slow Art Day HQ, we believe this cross-border, collaborative movement is exactly what this divisive world needs today.
And I’m proud to say that this year we have about 240 locations participating including a growing citywide movement: Mexico City with 50+ museums and galleries, Central Illinois hosting 20+ galleries, Saltillo, Mexico with 6 venues and Bogotá, Colombia celebrating Slow Art in its San Felipe Creative District.
There is so much happening everywhere – from the citywide noted above, to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, to M+ in Hong Kong, to locations on every continent except Antarctica.
Here are just a few of the 240 or so locations:
– Basílica de la Sagrada Família, Barcelona, Spain — A global icon and especially meaningful in 2026 marking the 100th anniversary of Antoni Gaudí’s death. – Royal Museum of Fine Arts Antwerp, Antwerp, Belgium — One of Europe’s great museums with Rubens and Flemish masters. – Wellcome Collection, London, United Kingdom — A fascinating blend of art, science, and medicine. – Ashmolean Museum, Oxford University, United Kingdom — The oldest public museum in the UK with encyclopedic global collections. – Musée de Cluny, Paris, France — A medieval masterpiece museum, home to the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries. – Frac Île-de-France, Le Plateau, Paris, France — A contemporary art platform offering a sharp contrast to Paris’s historic institutions. – Nationalmuseum, Stockholm, Sweden — Sweden’s premier fine arts museum with a broad European collection. – MART Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto, Rovereto, Italy — A major Italian institution focused on modern and contemporary art. – Rossocinabro, Rome, Italy — A contemporary gallery representing emerging artists from around the world. – National Museum of Decorative Arts of Ukraine, Kyiv, Ukraine — A powerful cultural institution preserving Ukrainian identity and heritage during wartime. – Centro Cultural Rojas, Buenos Aires, Argentina — A vibrant, experimental cultural center deeply embedded in Argentina’s intellectual and artistic life. – Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Boston, United States — One of the largest and most comprehensive museums in the Americas. – The Barnes Foundation, Philadelphia, United States — A legendary collection with a unique, highly influential approach to displaying art. – MASS MoCA, North Adams, United States — One of the world’s largest centers for contemporary and installation art. – National Gallery of Canada, Ottawa, Canada — The country’s premier national collection with global and Indigenous works. – Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto, Canada — A major international museum with a diverse and expansive collection. – Museo de Arte Popular, Mexico City, Mexico — A vibrant celebration of Mexican folk art and cultural traditions. – M+, Hong Kong, China — One of the most important new contemporary art museums in the world. – MAAT Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology, Lisbon, Portugal — A striking architectural landmark blending art, technology, and design. – Walyalup Fremantle Arts Centre, Fremantle, Australia — A major Australian cultural hub housed in a historic building. – Clare Gallery at the Franciscan Center for Urban Ministry, Hartford, United States — A powerful example of art connected to social justice and community engagement. – Z33 House for Contemporary Art, Design & Architecture, Hasselt, Belgium — A forward-looking institution known for bold contemporary exhibitions and architecture.
This list doesn’t include hundreds of large and small spaces celebrating Slow Art Day like the small museum tucked away in the Basque region that has been celebrating slow art for more than a decade with a daylong festival of art, food, music, and dance.
Wherever you are in the world, let us wish you a happy, joyful, art- and community-filled Slow Art Day 2026.
Best,
Phyl, Ashley, Maggie, Johanna, Jessica, and Richard (the Slow Art Day HQ team of volunteers)
P.S. If your museum, gallery, sculpture park, church, library or other institution is celebrating and you have not yet registered, then please register!
P.P.S. Read our comprehensive 2025 Annual Report providing details and descriptions (as well as artifacts) of more than 76 events (out of about 200) from around the world last year.
These six venues represent a cross-section of Saltillo’s cultural ecosystem — from a traditional fine arts museum to contemporary exhibition spaces, community cultural centers, and an academic institution — and this year they are working together to create a shared day of programming centered on slow looking, reflection, and community engagement (see below).
Further, specials activities will be held for students April 9 and 10. There will be a visit and activity for the final projects exhibition of the Prepa Tec Art course at the Saltillo Campus Library, with high school students. In addition, university students will be invited for a special slow viewing of the exhibition Siempre Cuerpo by Vange Tamez at Centro Cultural La Besana.
As the Saltillo Slow Art Day coalition noted in a press statement, “La observación lenta convierte al museo en un espacio de autodescubrimiento y conexión humana…” In English – “Slow looking transforms the museum into a space for self-discovery and human connection, rather than just a repository of objects for experts.”
Yes — well said.
And this is exactly the deeper promise of Slow Art Day. At its heart, it is an inclusive act — an opening of spaces that have too often felt exclusive, expert-driven, or intimidating. By inviting anyone, regardless of background or training, to simply look slowly and share what they see, Slow Art Day helps transform museums and cultural institutions into places of inclusion, belonging, and shared human experience.
I’ll note that Lucía Aguilar first found out about Slow Art Day in 2025 when Constanza Ontiveros Valdés led Mexico City’s first citywide. She then organized a single event in 2025 at Tecnológico de Monterrey Campus Saltillo. This year, taking a leaf from Ontiveros Valdés, she expanded into a citywide and is doing amazing work bringing together institutions across the city.
We at Slow Art Day HQ are excited to watch the citywide movement spread. As noted in other reports, Ontiveros Valdés in Mexico City was first inspired by Pamala Eaton and the BN Artists in Illinois who were the first anywhere to launch a citywide Slow Art Day. Their momentum continues to build. Their original citywide has now expanded into a celebration across Central Illinois — making that the first region-wide Slow Art Day in the world. Meanwhile, the 2025 Mexico City effort proved so successful that Ontiveros Valdés has since built a volunteer team, launched a dedicated website, and organized a coalition of more than 50 museums, galleries, and cultural venues for 2026.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
This deepening of our Slow Art Day movement could not come at a more important time in our divisive, topsy-turvy world. We need more art, we need more global cooperation, and we need more community — and thanks to many of you we will have all that again with this year’s Slow Art Day.
Best,
Phyl
P.S. As you know, Slow Art Day 2026 is coming up April 11 — register your museum, gallery, church, sculpture park or movie theater for 2026, if you have not yet done so. And maybe start thinking about a citywide celebration next year.
P.P.S. Get inspired by reading our comprehensive 2025 Annual Report providing details and descriptions (as well as artifacts) of more than 76 events from around the world last year.
Happy to report that Slow Art Day 2026 is coming up in 1 week – Sat, Apr 11, 2026 – around the world.
And I’m delighted to welcome another new host to our movement: Nathalie Krall and her organization ArtVenture Club e.V. from Düsseldorf, Germany.
ArtVenture Club e.V. is a global, digitally native nonprofit network that connects freelance and self-employed art professionals, scholars, and creatives. Their mission is to foster a more fair, diverse, and sustainable art world by bringing together practitioners and the public in thoughtful dialogue and shared experiences. Their work has been recognized in Germany’s UNESCO State Report on cultural diversity.
On April 11, 2026, they will host their first Slow Art Day event — a fully online session via Zoom, open to participants around the world. They are calling the event “Die Kunst des langsamen Sehens” (The Art of slow Seeing).
It’s free to attend with registration via Eventbrite (note: this session will be in German).
During the pandemic, many museums, galleries, and community groups experimented with virtual formats, expanding access during a time of global isolation. What makes this event notable is not simply that it is digital — but that it comes from an organization built natively for digital cultural engagement, with a clear and thoughtful philosophy behind it.
Krall explained to me that she sees online slow looking as a meaningful expansion of access and engagement, as it will:
– increase accessibility for people who cannot attend in person – create inclusive spaces across geographic and social boundaries – function as an independent mode of engagement with art.
I’ll add that Krall has designed it so that participants will chose three artworks for everyone to look at via a live poll at the beginning of the session. The selected works — high-resolution digital images drawn from among ArtVenture Club’s past 50 programs — will then be shared on screen and via links for deeper individual exploration.
As noted, this first Slow Art Day will be conducted in German, though they have plans to add English-language sessions in the future.
Please help us welcome Nathalie Krall and ArtVenture Club e.V. to the global Slow Art Day community.
Happy almost Slow Art Day!

Slow Art Day 2026 is just over a week away – and more big news: Bogotá, Colombia joins the growing global movement toward citywide Slow Art Day celebrations.
This inaugural citywide in Bogotá is led by Mauricio Ávila, Consejero Distrital de Infraestructura Cultural (District Advisor for Cultural Infrastructure), and centered in San Felipe Distrito Creativo (SF), which is Bogotá’s leading arts district. Often referred to simply as “SF,” the district brings together a dense network of contemporary galleries, artist studios, and creative venues, making it a natural anchor for Bogotá’s citywide Slow Art Day (see map image below).
As part of his role as District Advisor, Ávila decided to launch this first citywide in Bogotá. He was initially inspired by Constanza Ontiveros Valdés — an art writer and cultural project leader – who launched the first citywide Slow Art Day in Mexico City in 2025 and has expanded it in 2026 (more below). As you’ll see below, Ontiveros Valdés was in turn inspired by Pamala Eaton, Janean Baird and the whole team in Bloomington, Illinois who launched the first citywide anywhere.
Building on those examples, Ávila has organized five galleries and art spaces to pilot the Bogotá edition:
CURCUMA ART CENTER A contemporary art space focused on experimentation, emerging artists, and interdisciplinary practices.
ESTUDIO 74 A working studio and exhibition space supporting local artists and creative collaboration.
ESPACIO PERMANENTE An independent gallery dedicated to contemporary practices and ongoing artistic dialogue.
EL AZULEJO SAN FELIPE A cultural venue in Bogotá’s San Felipe arts district, known for its vibrant, community-driven programming.
VII A contemporary gallery presenting emerging and experimental artists, with a focus on bold, concept-driven exhibitions and new voices in the Bogotá art scene.
Together, these venues represent a cross-section of the contemporary art scene in SF — from independent galleries to artist-run spaces (see photos below).
We at Slow Art Day HQ are excited to watch the citywide movement spread organically around the world. As noted above, Constanza Ontiveros Valdés in Mexico City was inspired by Pamala Eaton and the BN Artists in Illinois who were the first anywhere to launch a citywide Slow Art Day. Their momentum continues to build. Their original citywide has now expanded into a celebration across Central Illinois — making that the first region-wide Slow Art Day in the world. Meanwhile, the 2025 Mexico City effort proved so successful that Ontiveros Valdés has since built a volunteer team, launched a dedicated website, and organized a coalition of more than 55 museums, galleries, and cultural venues for 2026.
Wow. Wow. Wow.
This deepening of our Slow Art Day movement could not come at a more important time in our divisive, topsy-turvy world. We need more art, we more global cooperation, and we need more community – and thanks to many of you we will have all that again with this year’s Slow Art Day.

P.S. As you know, Slow Art Day 2026 is coming up April 11 — register your museum, gallery, church, sculpture park or movie theater for 2026, if you have not yet done so. And maybe start thinking about a citywide celebration next year.
Slow Art Day 2026 is just over a week away – and big news – BN Artists, a team of artists in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois, have now expanded their pioneering citywide event to become the first region-wide celebration anywhere in the world. Wow.
Aligned with the 100th anniversary of Route 66, Slow Art Day on Route 66 will be a Central Illinois region-wide series of events created by BN Artists along with a grassroots coalition of museums, libraries, small business owners, and cultural leaders, and with marketing support from Visit Bloomington-Normal and the Illinois Route 66 Scenic Byway. Together, they have set up a distributed, community-driven arts experience spanning more than 20 locations across several cities in Central Illinois (see below my signature for links to galleries, museums, libraries and other locations).
Pamala Eaton, who started the Slow Art Day movement in Bloomington when she launched the first citywide event in 2022, says this initiative has helped grow not just the arts community, but the region as a whole. “Collaborating with artists, galleries, and businesses across our community for Slow Art Day has increased visibility for the local art scene and is now attracting more local and out-of-town visitors to our art locations and everything else our towns offer.” Eaton is a gallerist and owner of Herb Eaton Studio & Gallery.
Here is the wonderful Slow Art Day on Route 66 poster –
The event will begin with a Preview Night on Friday, April 3 (First Friday), where visitors can explore downtown Bloomington galleries and meet local artists. The main Slow Art Day will then take place on Saturday, April 11 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., followed by a closing reception from 2:30 to 5 p.m. at Herb Eaton Studio & Gallery. Additional programming will continue throughout the weekend and beyond, including a special slow looking and art making experience on Sunday, April 12 at 410 Sculpture Park in partnership with the Bloomington Public Library.
The connection to Route 66 adds a wonderful dimension. Long celebrated as part of the American experience, Route 66 represents movement, exploration, and the stories we carry across distance. Slow Art Day gently inverts that idea — inviting people not to pass through, but to pause, to look closely, and to build connection where they are.
As local arts educator Hannah Johnson noted, slow looking and slow making are “transformative acts in our exceedingly expeditious world.” That spirit is evident throughout the region — from galleries and museums to libraries, sculpture parks, and public spaces.
Participants will be encouraged to explore multiple locations, collect stamps in the Art Scene in McLean County Passport, and experience the diversity of artistic expression across Central Illinois. The result will be not just a series of events, but a shared regional experience built on attention, curiosity, and community.
We at Slow Art Day HQ are blown away by how Janean Baird, Pamala Eaton, BN Artists, and their many partners continue to lead the way in growing the Slow Art Day movement. Among other things, they have inspired others around the world to launch citywide events. In 2025, Constanza Ontiveros Valdés — an art writer and cultural project leader in Mexico City – was inspired by BN Artisits to start the first Mexico City citywide. That was so successful that this year, Ontiveros Valdés has built a volunteer team, a website and organized a coalition of 55+ museums, galleries and other venues. Wow! And not to be outdone by his northern neighbor, Mauricio Avila Morales is now organizing the first citywide in Bogotá, Colombia (more on that soon).
Happy Slow Art Day (almost) to everyone around the world. We need more art and community in this divisive, topsy-turvy world – and thanks to many of you we will have that.
Best,
Phyl

Wow. Constanza Ontiveros Valdés — an art writer and cultural project leader – has done it again, but bigger and better.
For the second citywide Slow Art Day in Mexico City on April 11, 2026, Ontiveros Valdés has organized more than 50 museums, galleries, artist studios, and independent cultural spaces. She and her volunteer team have also created a website just for their citywide. Photos below are part of their impressive site.
Participating institutions include museums such as Museo del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Museo Vivo del Muralismo and Museo Archivo de la Fotografía, as well as galleries, artist studios, and cultural spaces across the city. Each venue will organize its own program — ranging from guided slow-looking sessions and conversations to workshops and informal gatherings.
As noted, the Mexico City initiative continues to be led by Ontiveros Valdés. This year, she is supported by three enthusiastic and talented volunteers: Alejandra Sánchez Catalán, Shalom Hernández Espinosa, and Rebeca Rosales Reyes, whose collaboration has been key to the project’s expansion.
The initiative is further strengthened by the support of GAMA (Galerías de Arte Mexicanas Asociadas), a network of leading contemporary art galleries in Mexico, and by the cultural platform Artists’ Container, founded by curator and producer Gabriela Andrade Gorab, which fosters collaboration and visibility across artistic communities.
Ontiveros Valdés in Mexico City was first inspired to launch a citywide Slow Art Day in Mexico City by Pamala Eaton and the BN Artists in Illinois who were the first anywhere to launch a coordinated Slow Art Day. Their momentum continues to build. Their original citywide has now expanded into a celebration across Central Illinois — making that the first region-wide Slow Art Day in the world. Meanwhile, the 2025 Mexico City effort proved so successful that Ontiveros Valdés has expanded and, as noted, built a volunteer team and custom website – not to mention inspire others around the world.
This is a remarkable initiative and is definitely one path for the future of Slow Art Day. We now have four committed citywide organizers – Illinois, Mexico City, Saltillo, Mexico, and Bogotá, Colombia. We hope that more emerge.
Hope you have a happy Slow Art Day 2026!
With love and sequins,
Phyl, Ashley, Jessica Jane, Johanna, and Maggie (the Slow Art Day core volunteer team)
