THIRD ANNUAL

SLOW ART DAY IS APRIL 13!

Main Gallery 404 will be one of the many Bloomington-Normal locations participating in Slow Art Day!

Slow Art Day is an annual global event created to help people slow down and discover the joy of art. Last year Bloomington made international headlines by organizing the first city-wide event since Slow Art Day's inception in 2010. This year's number of Bloomington-Normal hosts has nearly doubled, making it the largest Slow Art Day celebration in the world! 

Slow Art Day festivities will take place at museums, galleries, studios, sculpture parks, and other cultural sites across all seven continents on Saturday, April 13, 2024. In the twin cities, twenty local arts organizations will be open to the public from 10 AM to 2 PM for the free event. 

With a simple mission, Slow Art Day aims to help more people discover for themselves the joy of looking at and loving art. 

There's something for everyone to enjoy on Slow Art Day.  This is a free, inclusive, and accessible art education and appreciation event for all ages, rain or shine. Following the festivities, all Slow Art Day goers are invited to a closing reception at The Hangar Art Co. from 2 to 4 PM.
