We want to see your pictures. We’re putting together a Walker People’s Archive (WPA) and invite you to be a part of it. In fact, we’re so excited to see your photographs that we’re hoping you stop by this summer to have us scan them and listen to the stories that really bring them to life. We’re interested in whatever you’ve got! The one requirement is that your photo gives a glimpse into how you feel connected to the Walker.

We want pictures like this:
The photo you took of an artist at work during a visit to the Walker. Did Keith Haring know you were taking his picture? What did he say to you?
That artist’s film you were a part of many moons ago. (Lorna Simpson’s Recollection)
Friends posing with art, or simply posing while having fun near art.
We’ll of course accept more pictures of cakes, puppets and kiddos with facial hair.
Look through your shoe boxes of Polaroids, find those old slide carousels (we can scan slides!), and come to one of the Walker’s scan days.
