Sensory Friendly Sunday is a monthly event designed for kids, teens, and adults with sensory processing differences, autism spectrum disorder, or developmental disabilities. The galleries will be closed to the general public, allowing visitors to enjoy the museum in a calm environment with accommodations such as quiet spaces, fidgets, and sunglasses available. Experience the Walker’s current exhibitions, Five Ways In and The Paradox of Stillness, and grab an art kit to make art at home!

Please note that to ensure safety for visitors and Walker staff, we have made some changes to the Sensory Friendly Sunday program and our visitation guidelines, including requiring all visitors wear a mask while visiting the Walker. We will not be hosting film screenings or art-making projects at Sensory Friendly Sunday at this time. You can read more about our visitation guidelines here.
This program was created in consultation with the Autism Society of Minnesota (AuSM) and the University of Minnesota’s Occupational Therapy Program.
