Slow Drawing Tour with Sienna van Rossum

Twenty-seven seconds. That's how long the average person spends looking at a work of art.

Join us on Saturday 5 April for Slow Art Day, a global initiative that shares a focus on slow-looking and its transformative power.

To celebrate, explore Ipswich Art Gallery’s latest exhibitions in a Slow Drawing Tour with artist Sienna van Rossum. Participants will be guided through a series of mindful prompts – to look deeply, draw, and discuss five artworks currently on display. Slow drawing is a way to deepen one’s understanding and appreciation of art through careful observation. There are endless possibilities to uncover.

Drawing materials will be provided.  FIND OUT MORE
