Join us for an after-hours experience with creative activities and sensory accommodations. From 5:30 to 8 pm, the galleries will be closed to the general public, allowing folks with autism, developmental disabilities, or other sensory sensitivities to enjoy the museum in a calm environment with quiet spaces, fidgets, sunglasses, and other accommodations available. This evening program and activities are designed for adults, but all are welcome.
This month’s activities:
Experience current exhibitions, including Walker Design Triennial: Beyond Materialism, This Must Be the Place: Inside the Walker’s Collection, and Abbas Akhavan: Variations on a Garden.
Enjoy an art activity designed by a guest teaching artist.
Watch a short, sensory-friendly film in the Bentson Mediatheque.
While walk-ins are welcome, we encourage you to reserve your space ahead of time. Those who preregister will receive an email containing a sensory map and information about the program.
You may arrive at any time between 5:30 and 8 pm and can come and go as you need during the program. All activities will run from 5:30 to 8 pm.
To support everyone’s health and safety, masks are required for all visitors over two years old. Accommodations are available for those who are unable to tolerate masking. For more information, email access@walkerart.org or call 612-375-7561.
We are grateful to our many community partners whose ongoing collaboration and shared perspectives helped design and launch this program.
