Each session starts by taking a moment to focus on our breathing – thinking about what we can see, hear and feel sitting in the gallery. Our team will then talk you through an artwork – exploring things like colour, texture, light and shade.
After the slow looking, we’ll try a simple creative activity together designed by our facilitators. You don’t need to be good at art to try this – it’s just about having a go and trying something new.
Our Relax With Art sessions take place on the last Friday of the month from 2:00 – 3:00pm. Sessions are FREE and there is no need to book. The group will meet at reception upon arrival.
Upcoming sessions:
“I’d never visited this museum or looked at much art before coming with START. I tried slow looking and was blown away by how it made me feel. I felt inside the picture. Today’s opened my mind a bit to how galleries can be a good place to get away from it all, and to get a bit of time out of your own head.”
