Let’s focus on things to celebrate as summer approaches, with a week of programming to help you enjoy connecting with art, artists, and each other. First and foremost, we’re thrilled to launch the online experience of Faye Driscoll: Come On In. Adapted from the Walker’s gallery exhibition, this inspiring work is now available for you to enjoy virtually while the museum is closed. You can also dance and draw with Har Mar Superstar and other surprise guests, as well as hear directly from artists about community organizing and teaching during quarantine.

Faye Driscoll: Come On In

Faye Driscoll’s first solo museum exhibition opened just two weeks before we had to close our galleries. Today, we are thrilled to invite you to experience part of it from the comfort of your own home! Listen in as the choreographer leads you on a shared journey that explores connections between ourselves, our bodies, and the world.

Is This the Longest Poem in the World?

Next time you’re crossing the Siah Armajani–designed bridge connecting Loring Park to the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, look up to read a poem that extends across 14 lanes of traffic. Spelled out in metal letters, the site-specific work by John Ashbery, a friend of Armajani’s, serves as a meditation on movement, place, and order.
