“Wait Wait, Don’t Tell Me: Slow Looking at Art”

Request Program

Ever find yourself spending more time reading the label about a work of art than looking at the artwork itself? This happens to all of us, especially when we are curious about the artist, the artwork, and its meaning. But there are benefits to slowing down our eyes and our minds to fully take in what is in front of us and to having an experience with an artwork that is unique to the viewer and the piece, unique to you. This program focuses on a small number of artworks and provides looking exercises to give us time to pause, rest our eyes and thoughts, and consider a work of art in a visual and contemplative manner.
