Join us on Saturday, May 6 at 3pm for a Slow Art Tour with Gail Belvett of We [don't] Care: reclaiming our environment. Free and open to the public.

A slow art tour presents a philosophical and literal alternative to the way visitors have traditionally consumed art. The tour challenges the notion that one needs to ‘know’ about art to appreciate it. A group of people gather to slowly savor a single object, looking closely while engaging multiple senses. Deliberate facilitation—grounded in the pedagogy of evidence-based Visual Thinking Strategies—encourages an inclusive community where observations are heard and valued. This inclusive process allows the group to co-create an interpretation of the work that culminates in an experience that is as unique as the people who are gathered around that specific object, on that day, at that time. 

Gail Belvett (she/her) is an art enthusiast, curator, collector, gallery guide and founder of The Art Chose Me
