Six months ago American Art, along with twelve other museums around the world, invited people to spend an afternoon taking a long look at art as part of Slow Art day. It was the antithesis of the fast-paced social networking world personified by Twitter and Facebook. Afterward, participants sat down and talked about what we'd seen. On April 17, starting at 11:30 a.m., American Art will be hosting Slow Art's second event here in DC. This time 48 museums from around the world are participating (and the number is still growing).
The premise is simple: we've come up with some artworks we'd like you to take a good look at. Afterward, we'll meet up in our Luce Center to have lunch and talk about what we've experienced (you provide eats but museum entrance is free). If it's anything like October's meetup the participants will be interesting and the dialogue will be thought-provoking.
Here are all the details and how to sign up. Put down your Twitter and Facebook clients for just a few hours to slow down for Slow Art.
