The Hofstra University Museum is proud to host International Slow Art Day 2016 on Saturday, April 9, 2016 from 12 noon - 2:00 p.m.

We invite you to slow down and take part in this international day that emphasizes the in-depth looking at a few select works of art. Museums throughout the world participate in this popular event, where the more you look, the more you see! Take a slow “look” at five works on view in our current exhibition In Print, and then gather with an HUM Educator for a lively discussion about the works.

** FREE ADMISSION **

Materials will be available to inspire further examination and engage in a lively discussion about these works.

Slow Art Day is a grassroots movement to support museums and art galleries around the world by empowering museum visitors to change their art-viewing experience! Unlike the standard 8 second view, we ask participants to spend 5 minutes or more looking at suggested pieces (indicated by the turtle logo) -- just slow down and look!
