Close Looking: Slow Looking

As part of the AGO’s ongoing Close Looking series, join us for a slow looking experience. We will explore Clarence Alphonse Gagnon's Study of a Hare in Winter, 1922.

Why slow? When people look slowly at a piece of art they make discoveries and personal connections. The most important discovery is that we can see and experience art without being an expert.

Melissa Smith, Assistant Curator of Community Programs, will demonstrate slow looking as a warm up for Slow Art Day, a global event with a simple mission: to help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.
