Henry David Thoreau Slow Art Day is a global event with a simple mission：help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. Why slow? When people look slowly at a piece of art，they make discoveries.The most important discovery they make is that they can see and experience art without an expert.And thats an exciting discovery.It unlocks passion and creativity and helps to create more art lovers. How does it work? One day each year，people all over the world visit local museums and galleries to look at art slowly.Participants look at five works of art for 10 minutes each and then meet together over lunch to talk about their experience.Thats it.Simple by design，the goal is to focus on the art.In fact，Slow Art Day works quite well this way. By the numbers Over 1，200 individual Slow Art Day events have taken place since its official launch in 2010.Slow Art Day events have taken place on all seven continents. 700 venues(museums，galleries，artist studios，sculpture parks，public art sites，etc.) have hosted Slow Art Day events.
