The aim of the Slow Art movement is to break with the often frenetic pace of modern life to simply enjoy works of art in a deliberate and unhurried fashion. Slow Art at the Modern invests in this pause with a 30-minute spotlight tour focusing on one work of art. Led by a Modern docent the third Friday of each month, Slow Art at the Modern begins at 5:30 pm.
Third Fridays, 5:30 pm

"During the holidays, sometimes the only place you want to be is home. It's the place you find love, acceptance and joy. It can also be the place that drives you mad -- which we'll examine. But, in the end, there's no place like home for the holidays."
