Reducing Overwhelm: A Workshop at the Art Museum

This small-group workshop uses the art museum as a setting to slow down, step back, and gain perspective on your own thinking.
We’ll move through the museum using simple observation prompts, then gather afterward for a guided conversation using the art as a shared reference point. The focus is on noticing what draws your attention, what creates contrast, and what stays with you.
Art is used as a tool for thinking differently, not analysis or critique.
