SLOW LOOKING: FEEL THIS WAY
Thursday, November 3 | 1-2pm PT
Online
Wonderful things happen when we slow down and engage deeply with works of art. Join us in an interactive session as we look closely at selected artworks from our exhibition Feel This Way. The session will explore what we notice, wonder, and discover when we take the time to look closely and carefully.
Bring your curiosity as we practice engaging with two artworks and share our observations, perspectives, and questions, through a guided interactive program led by educator & teaching artist Suzanne Reich.
No prior experience of the curator's or artists' talks required.
About the Exhibition: Every year, Ruth’s Table and Creative Spark partner with older adult communities, local nonprofits, intergenerational partners, and community programs working beyond the arts to bring together older adults and adults with disabilities through engaging and inclusive creative experiences. This year, Feel This Way encouraged us to use the creative process to identify, examine, and capture how we feel through art. Our participants and teaching artists have collaborated on projects that emphasize the sensory nature of art and encourage various forms of self-expression, while embracing spontaneity and play as our guiding principles.
Note: Slow Looking program takes place on the first Thursday of each month.
Registration: Free | RSVP is Essential
