Slow Art Day with Clare Gallery

“It’s not what you look at that matters, it’s what you see.” Henry David Thoreau

“Founded in 2010, Slow Art Day is a global event (more than 1,500 museums and galleries have participated) with a simple mission: help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. Why “slow”? When people look slowly at a piece of art they make discoveries … it turns out that slowing down not only helps us see more, but, … it brings with it the joy of discovering more. What sounds like a possibly boring act…  is quite the opposite. But we cannot convince people of this, they must experience it themselves.  And that’s an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers.” (Excerpt from https://www.slowartday.com/)
