The fifth annual Slow Art Day on Route 66 on Saturday, April 11, 2026 is an inclusive, accessible art education and art appreciation event for all ages, rain or shine. In the twin cities, many local arts organizations will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. To conclude the festivities, all Slow Art Day goers are invited to a closing reception with sips and bites at Herb Eaton Studio and Gallery from 2:30 to 5 p.m. at 411 N. Center Street in Downtown Bloomington.
Slow Art Day festivities will take place at museums, galleries, studios, sculpture parks, and other cultural sites across all seven continents. With a simple mission, Slow Art Day aims to help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art.
