Summer Social 2023

Summer Social: Common Ground, 2022. Photo: Carina Lofgren for the Walker Art Center.

The Walker is the place to be this summer for an incredible array of activities—all for free! Summer Social is a series of participatory, artist-designed programs and events that reunite us, delight us, and remind us how great it is to be together. Each Thursday evening you’ll enjoy performances and poetry readings, community exhibition openings, artist talks, tours, film screenings, art-making, and more.

Bring your blanket, pick up picnic snacks and libations at Cardamom, and join us to connect with friends and discover something new.
