Welcome Back to the Walker Art Center

It's the moment we've all been waiting for! We are thrilled to announce the Walker is reopening to the public on Thursday, July 16—with early access for members from July 10–12. We have made every effort to protect our visitors and staff by introducing new gallery hours, required tickets for timed entry, and enhanced visitor guidelines—learn more before your next visit and until then, continue to enjoy the Walker online any time. We can't wait to see you!

Welcome Back to the Walker!

JULY 10–12: MEMBER PREVIEW DAYS
JULY 16: PUBLIC OPENING

Explore An Art of Changes, The Expressionist Figure, and Five Ways In when the galleries reopen on Thursday, July 16—with early access for members starting on Friday, July 10. Not a member? Join now for as little as $5/month to enjoy Member Preview Days.

A few things are changing: check out the new hours, timed ticketing procedures (hint: all visitors will need a ticket—even for free admission), and other details about your visit.

What To Expect When You Visit

We are working hard to make your experience comfortable! Here is what you should know ahead of your visit:

• New hours of operation: the Walker will be open Thursday–Sunday. Check the hours here.

• To limit capacity and avoid lines, all admissions require a timed ticket in advance, even for free admissions. Get your ticket now.

• Visitors and staff are required to wear mask while inside the museum.

• Signage has been installed to facilitate physical distancing.

• The Walker is enhancing cleaning of high-touch surfaces throughout the day.

• We have made other changes to ensure a low-touch visitor experience. Learn more on the website.

The #walkerartcenter will reopen to members on Friday, July 10 and to the general public on Thursday, July 16. In response to COVID-19 and to proactively protect the entire community, the museum made plans to temporarily close on March 13. Four months later, Mary Ceruti, Executive Director, released a statement announcing the mid-July reopening date. “We are excited that the Walker will be ready to welcome visitors back this July. We have made various changes for safety and comfort, and will continue to take every precaution for the care of all visitors, staff, and artists, but will finally be able to open our galleries to the public.”

The Walker galleries will be open as well as the Walker Shop (by the Main Lobby) and Esker Grove with modified hours, guest and staff protocols. Moving Image and Performing Arts programs will not be resuming until later this year. The #Minneapolis Sculpture Garden continues to be open at regular hours.

Health safety enhanced with new protocols
Visitors over the age of 2 are required to wear masks, keep a distance of 6 feet from others outside their household group, and wash hands frequently. These protocols will be clearly communicated throughout the building and on the Walker website. The Walker aims to create a near-touch less experience for the visitor and will have hand-sanitizer units throughout, increased cleaning efforts, including hourly cleaning of high touch surfaces, and signage to help guide visitors during their visit.

Reopening dates and entrances
Walker members are welcome to visit the museum starting July 10, and will be receiving more information directly from the Walker via email.

The museum is open to the public starting July 16. Vineland Place entrance will be open; the Hennepin entrance will be closed. Visit walkerart.org/visit for more info.

New process for timed tickets
To ensure limited capacity and space for physical distancing, the Walker is moving to a system of timed tickets sold online. Tickets will be on sale beginning June 30. All visitors, including kids and members, will need to get a ticket before a visit, paid or free. Tickets can be acquired at half-hour increments for entry and will have limited capacity. 11am-12pm on Thursday and Friday are dedicated hours for to visitors and their companions who have that live with a greater concern for an increased risk for contracting COVID-19. Once an online ticket has been acquired, the visitor will receive an emailed ticket that can be scanned digitally or physically at the admissions desk in the Main Lobby. After entering, visitors can stay as long as the museum is open. Building visitation is limited to 25% capacity at all times.

Reduced Galleries hours
Gallery hours will be limited: Thursdays will be open from 11 am through 9 pm. Friday and Saturday hours will be 11 am through 6 pm. Sundays will be open from 11 am through 5 pm. Monday through Wednesday will be closed. Enjoy free admission every Thursday evening (5–9 pm) and on the first Saturday of each month (10 am–3 pm).

Exhibitions on view:

An Art of Changes: Jasper Johns Prints, 1960–2018
In celebration of the artist’s 90th birthday, An Art of Changes surveys six decades of John’s practice in printmaking, highlighting his experiments with familiar, abstract, and personal imagery that play with memory and visual perception in endlessly original ways. The exhibition features some 90 works in intaglio, lithography, woodcut, linoleum cut, screenprinting, and lead relief—all drawn from the Walker’s comprehensive collection of the artist’s prints. Exhibition closes on September 20.

Drawings Celebrating the remarkable collection of drawings recently donated to the Walker by longtime patrons Miriam and Erwin Keen, this exhibition explores the expressive potential of the human body. Richly varied in theme and style, the works on paper span more than a century of artistic experimentation. Featuring portraiture, social satire, erotica, and fantasy in mediums ranging from crayon, ink, and graphite to watercolor, pastel, and collage, the Kelens’ works are joined by a select group of related drawings and sculpture from the Walker’s current holdings. Exhibition closes on October 18.

Five Ways In: Themes from the Collection
With more than 100 works—painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and video installations—the exhibition Five Ways In: Themes from the Collection invites us to become reacquainted with favorites from the collection and discover new pieces by artists who are reinventing genres we thought we knew.

Upcoming exhibition:
Don’t let this be easy
Opening July 30

Featuring works from the 1970s to today, Don’t let this be easy is an institutional project taking the form of an exhibition, coupled with new scholarship and online publishing focused on women artists from the Walker’s collection.

Esker Grove patio and indoor seating will be available during gallery hours. Grab and go food options will also be available. Visitors are asked to make a reservation for dine-in seating, although walk-ins are still allowed. Visit eskergrove.com for more details.
