Join us at Ipswich Art Gallery for an evening of celebration for the opening of our latest exhibitions:

Arriving Slowly + Sharing The National Collection

Arriving Slowly delves into a journey of connecting with art on a deeper, emotional level and explores aspirations towards the sublime in Abstraction. Viewers are invited to take their time, immersing themselves in the works to uncover the profound possibilities and meanings that unfold through slow, deliberate observation.

Arriving Slowly is an Ipswich Art Gallery exhibition.
