The practice of slow looking is at the heart of our exhibition 'Hockney and Piero: A Longer Look'. Research shows that mindfulness, even in small bursts, can have a positive impact on our mood and wellbeing. Join one of these 20-minute taster sessions, led by mindfulness expert Karly Allen, to explore using an artwork as the focus for mindfulness. The session beings with a pause, followed by guided sustained looking at Vermeer's 'A Young Woman Seated at a Virginal' and ending with reflection on how every Gallery visit can be an opportunity for mindful pauses.
