Take time for yourself and experience something new with our Slow Looking Art Tours – these relaxed, drop-in tours take a closer look at selected works from IMMA’s exhibitions. Talking about an artwork with someone else can open our eyes to new details and reveal things we did not see at first. These tours will help you to slow down and spend time with selected artworks, discussing them with others in a convivial and supportive atmosphere

All are welcome to sign up for this free programme, no previous experience required.   

Slow Looking Art Tours are offered as part of IMMA Horizons: Lifelong Creativity for the Curious.
