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
This short, 20-minute tour is narrowly focused around a single theme and is the perfect break from the First Friday action of the Grand Lobby. This tour starts by the information desk. Gallery admission is free on Friday.
Learn with local artists as they lead informal basic drawing classes in the galleries. This free class is open to adults at all skill levels—just bring a sketchbook and pencils. Registration is not required, but participants should sign in at the information desk. The February session will be led by Micah Yarborough.
Modern educators lead a family-oriented project via a short instructional video designed in relation to works in the Modern’s permanent collection. Click here for the video.
Each Drawing from the Collection for Children session is led by an artist who takes participants through informal drawing exercises in relation to works in the Modern’s galleries. The February session will be led by artist Shelby Orr. Children under the age of 6 must be accompanied by an adult during the program. Bring a sketchbook and pencils. Attendance is limited, so early arrival is encouraged. A sign-up sheet is located at the information desk.
