This year’s Slow Art Day on Route 66 is set for Saturday, April 13th from 10a to 2p. I sat down with Aianna Zachary and Santino Lamancusa to talk about the 2024 event that spans both Bloomington and Normal and features 20 locations. Hear how the art community came together to create the first city wide event of its kind for Slow Art Day, how the event continues to grow, and so much more about the art scene in our area.
