Start your day with art, reflection, and conversation.

Join us before the gallery opens for Slow Looking, a guided experience of quiet observation, reflection, and shared conversation centered around a single artwork.

No art background is needed. Just bring your curiosity. Complimentary coffee and refreshments, courtesy of Tatte Bakery & Café, will be available.

Facilitator: Maryam Ovissi is a certified Yoga Therapist, poet, and founding Trustee of the Ovissi Foundation, dedicated to supporting artists of Iranian heritage. She brings to Slow Looking a deep practice of presence and attentiveness, the same qualities she cultivates in her students and herself.
