SLOW ART DAY

 

April 14, 2018

Saturday, April 14 is SLOW ART DAY! We are thrilled to participate for the fourth year in a row in this wonderful international initiative—”a global event with a simple mission: to help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.” Read more about Slow Art Day’s launch in this article from ARTNews.

“Slow art”—the idea that looking closely, over a period of time, leads to new discoveries and a more profound connection to art and to the creative process—lies at the heart of CIMA’s ethos and mission, and we practice this act of active looking throughout our season. During our regular open hours (1pm – 6pm) on Saturday, April 14, we invite you to pick one or two paintings by Alberto Savinio and challenge yourself to spend 10 minutes in front of the work. Share your insights and discoveries with us, with your friends, and with others who are here visiting.

At 11am and 2pm, we’ll be serving espresso and enjoying a guided visit of the exhibition, which will include a “slow art” looking session and conversation focused on two works chosen by our fellow in residence, Elena Salza.
