Greetings from Richmond, VA, USA

Slow Art Day 2014! I can’t wait.

I’ve got lots of people signed up (45), and have been keeping in touch with them on a regular basis. I hope they all show up!

It’s going to be an exciting event.

I’ve chosen 3 pieces from the 20th century galleries and 2 from an area under viewed for sure, sporting life, which is mainly British paintings ofhorse and dogs from the 1800s.

Won’t people be surprised!

Instead of making buttons this year, I made labels on adhesive backed paper.

I look forward to seeing everyone’s photos from the event.

Best wishes to all,

Mim Golub Scalin

Hello fellow hosts,

The Museum of Paleontology and Palaeontology Maglie (Lecce, Italy) will host “The Origin of Art” Saturday, April 12.

I am hosting this event because I firmly believe that we must understand the art from its origins, from the times when the basic need of man to communicate. The understanding of this concept requires slow pace to overcome the aesthetic idea of works of art, to discover the values and the deepest needs of the soul.

If you are in Salento (Puglia), do not hesitate to connect with us! Good luck to all of you for your respective goals Days of Art on Saturday.

Compton Verney Art Gallery situated in Warwickshire, England will be hosting slow art day for our second year. We were thrilled to take part in 2013, with an important movement allowing engagement at your own pace.

This year we will be providing a trail to highlight parts of our six permanent collections and have invited a local Kineton Thai Chi group to run sessions throughout the afternoon in our ‘Capability’ Brown Landscape.

We will also be celebrating our 10^th anniversary year as an Art gallery and attempting to break the world record for the longest line of bunting. Visitors will be able to take part at their own leisure and make paper flags for the line of bunting.

We are also encouraging participants to take part at home and send them to us.

Follow our social media sites for progress on the world record attempt and activities happening on Saturday 12 April.

Kind Regards
