On Saturday, April 14, NOMA is participating in International Slow Art Day, which encourages visitors to slow down and explore one or several works of art for a minimum of five minutes each.

Directions:
Choose a work of art from NOMA’s galleries or the Sydney and Walda Besthoff Sculpture Garden. Spend at least five minutes looking at the work of art. Refer to the questions below for suggestions for contemplation. Repeat with three to five different works of art. Share your Slow Art Day experience on social media. #SlowArtDayNOMA
