In 2011, the Walker acquired a comprehensive collection of artist-made set pieces, costumes, painted drops, and props created for the internationally renowned Merce Cunningham Dance Company. Please join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the acquisition with Cunningham Research Fellow Abigail Sebaly, and a closer examination of the Dance Works exhibitions. Afterwards, we’ll head to Gather for a drink (first one is on us!) and a chance to sample the latest small plate creations by guest chef Saul Chavez from MASA.
Please RSVP to Kate Tucker at donors@walkerart.org or 612.375.7641 by December 28. Space is very limited, priority will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. This is an exclusive free event for Contemporaries members, plus one additional guest (if there is only one person listed on your membership).
