Art lovers in the northeast are being encouraged to slow down and enjoy the masterpieces they'll see at a show on Saturday.Slow Art Day makes its way .
During the event, participants are encouraged to visit local museums and galleries to look at art pieces for 10 minutes each, and then meet together for a beverage to talk about their experience and interpretations. “It is to promote the concept of slow down, and given the time we live in and what’s going on on the planet, people need things to focus on that helps improve the quality of life and cheer them up and make them think about something other than COVID,” said Sandra Dancey, the gallery’s owner. “Art is a really good way to do that and it ties into music and everything. I don’t think people fully grasp how much art is a part of their life.”
