April 10 – 23, 2021
Slow Art Day is an international event held every April to encourage all of us to spend a bit more time looking at art. When you look slowly at a piece of art you make discoveries. You see things you wouldn’t have noticed in a quick glance, you can reflect on what the art stirs up in you, what it reminds you of and how it makes you feel.
All of the art posted is for sale. To purchase please contact the artist by email.
