What a fantastic evening! In September, the Walker hosted its annual benefit party, Avant Garden, returning to its galleries and public spaces following several years in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
As friends and admirers from around the Twin Cities and across the country came together to celebrate and support the Walker, the event delivered a plethora of experiences attendees have come to expect: cutting-edge fashion, gourmet cuisine, bountiful beverages and cocktails, and, of course, a world-class art auction. Lively tunes from DJs Tricky Miki, Dub Minus, and headliner Vagabon kept folks dancing late into the night.
The Walker is immensely grateful to the many generous partners and sponsors who played a pivotal role in making Avant Garden 2023 the Twin Cities’ party of the year! We extend our special appreciation to our Lead Sponsors: the Creative Partners Group (the CPG) and the Pohlad Companies. As pillars of our business community, their early commitments helped the Walker attract a robust slate of supporters and deliver another event for the ages.
A heartfelt thank-you to the CPG and the Pohlad Companies.
