Slow Art Day 2023

Slow Down. Reflect. Discover. Engage.

On average, museumgoers tend to view objects for under 30 seconds. Seven seconds is the most time some viewers will spend looking at a painting. How long does 30 seconds feel? What about 5 minutes? How does the time we spend looking at something, influence our observation?

Join the Florence County Museum on Saturday, April 15, 2023, for a day of curated strategies to help you experience art more deeply. Stop by the front desk for your Slow Art Day Guide.

No fee or registration required!

Three opportunities to reflect on the day include:

• Individually, through your printed Slow Art Day Guide
• With your own learning community. Invite friends and family to join you. Discuss your observations with them after your visit.
• Join Museum staff and others for facilitated conversation in the multipurpose room at 2:00 pm. If you chose this option, make plans to arrive at the museum at 1:00 pm so you have plenty of time to view the selected art beforehand.
