Join us for Art Club, a standing invitation to explore and create across our campus. Stop by the Art Lab for drop-in art-making with Walker educators. Every week is a chance to experiment with a new medium, idea, or muse.

This week, Twin Cities cartoonist and activist Hawwa Youngmark hosts a hands-on comic book workshop.

Activity instructions, available in English and Spanish, are designed for ages 4 and up. Materials are provided and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis; supplies are limited. No prior registration is required for Art Club—the more you visit, the more you’ll discover.

Open Stacks and Free Films

Stop in on Thursday nights for Open Stacks and explore books, journals, and artist files with help from expert librarians.

The library is located directly behind the Art Lab. The Mediatheque is always free, streaming select films and movies from the Ruben-Bentson collection.
