Slow Art Day 2024

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 13, 2024 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!

Allow yourself uninterrupted time with a work of art. Use your guide to reflect on your observations either individually, through journal writing response or with your own learning community. Invite friends and family to join a conversation on what you discovered and noticed.
