Slow Art Day comes to YorkArts

Slow Down And Enjoy The Art

On April 27, 2013, YorkArts will be joining over 180 museums and galleries around the world to celebrate the 5th annual Slow Art Day.

Slow Art Day aims to transform the art-viewing experience. Participants are invited to view 5 pieces of art for a total of 1 hour or more. Following their viewing, participants are encouraged to discuss the art and their experience over Slow Food refreshments.

YorkArts’ Slow Art Day event will feature selected works from the gallery’s current exhibit: “Contemporary Color”, Artwork Collected by Bill and Kim Kerlin. The free event will be held from 11 am-1 pm on April 27 at the YorkArts Gallery, located at 10 N Beaver Street.

A light buffet will be provided and prepared by representatives of the Susquehanna Heartland Slow Food Convivium. Local Slow Food advocates included are Jon Darby, Emily Kelly, and Jeremy Kilgore from the Horn Farm Center, and David Dietz of Dietz Produce.

Like Slow Art, the movement it is about appreciating the time and effort put into making things, so what better way to wrap up the afternoon!

RSVP is appreciated but not required
