Overview
Whether you're a seasoned gallery attendee or a more casual art-lover, you'll know the quiet joys that stepping into an exhibition can bring — not just providing a feast for the eyes, but a soothing space for the mind as well. In their peaceful places dedicated to celebrating creativity, just trying not to get swept up in the relaxing vibe is nearly impossible.
Accordingly, it was only a matter of time before someone combined looking at art and meditation — and in Brisbane, that someone is the Queensland Art Gallery. On the first Tuesday of each month, they're holding an early morning session dedicated to getting blissful and mindful while exploring their Australian Collection.
At 7.45am on November 7 and December 5, experienced meditation and yoga teacher Miriam Van Doorn will be your guide in several ways: through QAG, and through a flow-style class inspired by the artworks and architecture on display. A brief talk about slow-art looking practices will follow, in what sounds like a chilled start to your day — all for $10, or free if you're a QAGOMA member, with bookings required.
