Mindful Looking (Sept 17 6:00)

The Mindful Looking program at the Art Institute of Chicago offers a quiet alternative to a typical gallery visit, combining close observation of a single artwork with a guided meditation. A trained museum educator leads the 45-minute session, which begins with discussion and close looking, then shifts into a reflective meditation on a theme that changes each month. This month's edition takes place on Thursday, September 17, from 6:00 to 7:00 PM, and meets in Griffin Court. No meditation experience is needed, and stools are provided. Free with museum admission; no registration required.
