About this Event

Come experience an hour of Slow Looking at the paintings in our current exhibitions.

Allow the mysterious to emerge, a shape to form into something recognizable and then to dissolve, a feeling to surface, or a story to unfold.

These sessions will be partially guided by Esker Foundation curators; we encourage you to come willing to participate in a space of quiet contemplation and shared observation.

We will be offering a second Slow Looking Session in March.
