Event Details
A slow art walkthrough is a quiet, meditative experience
designed to stretch and challenge the 8-second average viewing time for museum
artwork.
This guided experience
will invite viewers into the benefits of mindfulness, curiosity-based
observation, and the intersection of art and nature. Throughout the 90min
walkthrough, viewers are encouraged to spend 5-15min with each artwork of their
choosing. The Museum will be closed to the public throughout the duration of
the tour, and exhibits on display will include When the Earth
Whispers Back: Nature’s Hope & Ocean Forests:
Our Coastal Communities. While the walkthrough will be primarily
self-guided and spent in comfortable silence, attendees will receive a staff
introduction, optional fill-in art mindfulness guide, and a provided picnic
lunch at Hans Christian Andersen Park (customizable lunch order). We
gently suggest wearing comfortable clothing and shoes, similar to a traditional
meditation session.
Tour Schedule:
9AM-10:30AM – Slow Art
Walkthrough
11AM-12:30PM – Picnic
Lunch at Hans Christian Andersen Park (provided by Panino)
The class fee for this tour is $30 for (CalNAM) Members, and $35
