SUMMARY:Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience
DESCRIPTION:Take time for yourself for a special series we are calling Lunch & Learn: A Slow Art Experience. \nWhat is Slow Art?  \nMost of us stroll through an art gallery\, pausing at a piece of art for a few moments before moving on to the next\, like some form of visual buffet. Slow Art as a concept was created to encourage us all to stay with the art for a little longer\, savor\, and soak it in. The hope is that we not only see more\, but also get to know the works in greater detail. Exploring artworks more slowly can help us to form more stories\, feelings\, and opinions about the works. \nWebsite
