Theme 8: Select an artwork that is amusing or silly. [Gallery 26]

We encourage you to Slow Down at the Speed by spending an extended length of time with one work of art. The Speed Art Museum is collaborating with local musicians and community mindfulness teachers to provide guidance that will enhance your present moment experiences in the Speed. We have suggested a gallery for each theme, but you are welcome to engage with another artwork if it catches your eye.
