Walker Art Center
1750 Hennepin Avenue
Minneapolis, MN 55403

Dedicated to the visual, performing, and media arts of our time, the Walker Art Center houses one of the largest museum-based performing arts departments in the country and is involved with the commissioning, development, and/or presentation of 60-70 dance, music, theater, and performance events each season. Committed to both emerging artists and contemporary masters, the Walker is actively engaged in the support of new work on local, national, and international levels. In recent years, the Walker has increasingly supported and presented a wide range of performance work from around the globe.

We present projects across the following disciplines: contemporary dance, dance-theater, experimental theater, new music-theater, performance art, new puppetry, avant-jazz, electronic music, contemporary classical music, international/global music, and experimental pop/rock. The Walker supports established and innovative masters, mid-career artists and a range of emerging voices. We commission and present work by local, national, and international artists and sponsor numerous artist residencies each season. While the vast majority of the work we support involves artists we have ongoing relationships with or those whom we have researched and sought out, we remain open to receiving proposals and inquiries from artists forging new directions in the art forms within which we work.
