Mindfulness in the Galleries: Slow Art Break

  • Portland Museum of Art 7 Congress Square Portland, ME, 04101 United States (map)

Free to members or with admission 

David C. Driskell (American, 1931–2020), Frost and Ice, Maine, 1977, gouache and watercolor on paper, 29 7/8 x 22 1/4 inches. Gift of The Thelma Driskell Trust, 2025.14.2

Take a pause in your day to look slowly and breathe deeply.

In this facilitated session, visitors will spend extended time with a single artwork, exploring its details, context, and emotional resonance through guided prompts and open discussion. Rooted in the principles of mindfulness and observation, this program supports personal wellness by creating space for presence and connection through art.

Join us every Friday at noon for a 30-minute gallery talk with curators, artists, and community voices exploring art, the PMA Collection, and creative practice.
