As leaders in the community, Premier Partners are committed to sustaining the area’s cultural fabric and helping the Walker maintain its status as one of the nation’s leading centers for contemporary art. Our Premier Partners ensure reliable support that undergirds the multidisciplinary programming that defines the Walker.

Out of the Box: A Walker Night In was an unusual fundraiser for unusual times. This unique approach to the traditional benefit is rooted in the Walker’s mission to connect artists with audiences and serve as a catalyst for creative expression by providing financial support to artists for their work. With Out of the Box, 75 Walker patrons participated in raising critical operating funds in a moment of need for the museum. Curators from all disciplines selected a mix of commissions, prints, films, and music by artists represented in the collection to deliver everything needed for an engaging night in.
