Walker Art Center
The Walker Art Center is located at 725 Vineland Place, Minneapolis, MN. The Center was founded in 1927 and features works in visual arts, performing arts, film and new media, with notable pieces by artists such as Jasper Johns, Chuck Close and Kara Walker. It is housed in a building that underwent a major expansion in 2005, designed by Herzog & de Meuron, which added additional gallery space and a striking new facade. The museum is also known for the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden and is home to the iconic “Spoonbridge and Cherry” sculpture. Specific programs include the “Insights Design Lecture Series,” which brings leading designers from around the world to speak, and “Walker Moving Image,” showcasing a diverse range of films and video art. Additionally, the Walker Art Center hosts “Out There,” an annual festival of boundary-pushing performance art, and actively engages in educational initiatives and community outreach.
