Self-Guided Slow Art at the Cameron Art Museum

Posted on November 21, 2024 by Jessica Nocella

For their first Slow Art Day, the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, North Carolina, organized a self-guided viewing activity. They provided visitors with a flyer (shown below) which had a framework for participating and suggested artworks ranging from paintings to quilted art.

This is a great flyer/set of instructions. Other museums should feel free to copy anything they’ve done here.

We are glad to welcome the Cameron Art Museum to the Slow Art Day movement and look forward to what they come up with for 2025.

Virginia MOCA Slow Art Day 2019

Posted on April 9, 2019 by Phyl Terry

The Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art focused on key pieces in the exhibit, The Rest of History, which explores groups (minorities, women, etc.) that have been underrepresented in history. Slow Art Day also coincided with Military Family Appreciation Day at VirginiaMOCA so a number of families came and did slow looking together.

I never would have spent the time to look at these pieces and make the type of connections I did without this event.
