The year before, while smaller, was very successful &#8211;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.arttrav.com\/florence\/slow-art\/\"> Slow Art Florence 2010<\/a> was held at the Church and Museum of Santa Croce.

To do so, moderators in various cities devise various approaches. My approach has been to provide a list of things to look at within the exhibition space, and to also give a goodly amount of guidance as to what things you might want to consider for about 15 minutes. Organizers choose a small number of works on which participants concentrate for about 15 minutes each. Afterwards, there&#8217;s a group discussion.<\/p>\n<p>This year I won&#8217;t be involved &#8211; I&#8217;ve passed on the torch to the talented ladies at Palazzo Strozzi &#8211; but encourage you to sign up!
