Mindfulness and Art: Engaging the Five Senses

The Sarasota Art Museum continues its series intersecting meditation and gallery observation with a session focused on somatic responses to contemporary installations. Facilitators direct participants to notice their physical and sensory reactions to the scale, texture, and spatial arrangement of specific artworks. The guided gallery exercise deliberately steps away from academic critique, asking attendees to engage with the museum’s current visual environment through grounded breathing and heightened sensory awareness.
