GO SLOW ART CLUB

Previously a small works subscription started by Anna Wetzel Artz in 2022, GO SLOW ART CLUB has evolved into a curatorial endeavor, to celebrate and share work from artists embodying a “go slow” mindset in their creative practice.

A variety of factors influence the artists’ respective cadences. A poet finds inspiration in the classical adage of festina lente (“make haste slowly”), and an oil painter records diaristic entries of seasonal shifts observed in nature. A multimedia artist finds herself employing labor-intensive materials again and again, as an almost-unconscious rejection of the pressure to rush. Still another has been building upon a mixed media piece for nearly a decade while embracing her roles as a public school teacher and a parent. For many in this group of featured artists, the mindset spills over from the studio into daily humanhood as well.

GO SLOW ART CLUB features quarterly interviews that explore guest artists’ work and ideas, which are linked below. Note: Interviews done prior to Winter 2024 will remain posted on Patreon through December 2024, after which they will be moved to this site.
