August tours at the Walker Art Center include a look at the new exhibition Ordinary Culture: Heikes/Helms/McMillian, opening on August 11. Featuring work by artists Jay Heikes (Minneapolis/New York), Adam Helms (New York), and Rodney McMillian (Los Angeles), the exhibition examines culture by dissecting its systems of signs and values. Tours are also available for the exhibitions Cameron Jamie (on view through October 14) and Diane Arbus Revelations (on view through September 10). On Saturday, August 5, as part of the Walker’s Free First Saturday, patrons can stretch and pose on a yoga-inspired tour of the Sculpture Garden, led by instructor Jessica Rosenberg. Also offered in August are tours of the Walker’s ongoing exhibitions and recently expanded facility, as well as tours of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden.
Gallery admission is $8 adults; $6 seniors (65+), $5 student/teen (with ID), and free to Walker members and children 12 and under. Admission is free with a ticket to a same-day Walker event, $4 with a ticket stub up to six days after an event. Gallery admission is free to all every Thursday evening from 5–9 pm and on the first Saturday of each month.
