On average, people spend less than 30 seconds viewing a work of art. The Looking Inward program uses slow looking — an observation style gaining traction in museums around the world that aims to change this through intentionally observing art. Rooted in a meditative approach, Looking Inward encourages participants to slow down, look closely, connect, and share insights together.
