Slow Art Day Guided Visit

Saturday, April 13, 1 pm

Join us 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.

Join an AGO Art Educator on a close looking journey of the AGO collection. Meet in Walker Court with your tickets at 1:00pm.

Why Slow?

When people look slowly at a piece of art they make discoveries and personal connections. The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without being an expert. And that's an exciting discovery. It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art fans.

How can I participate?

One day each year – April 13, 2024 – people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.

Pick five works of art at the AGO and visit them for 10 minutes each. That's it. Simple by design, the goal is to focus on the art and the art of seeing.
