Icons After Dark: Encountering the Icon through Slow Looking
$10 for members and $20 for not-yet-members; Limited to 25 attendees
Join Icon Museum staff for an intimate evening of slow looking and shared discovery.
Slow looking has become something of a popular phenomenon in the world of art appreciation. This practice invites us to step back from the flickering images of our fast-paced world and spend a generous amount of time observing a single work of art, uncovering details that typically go unnoticed. This practice lends itself particularly well to the icons in our collection, which were originally created for deep, prayerful contemplation.
Attendees will break into small groups and will be guided through the slow-looking experience by members of the Icon Museum staff. Afterwards, participants will gather back together to share their observations over drinks and light refreshments.
