June tours at the Walker Art Center include a look at the new exhibition Diane Arbus Revelations, opening on June 17. Organized by the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the exhibition of nearly 200 photographs, many of which have never been exhibited publicly, is the most complete presentation of Diane Arbus’ work ever assembled. Tours are also available for the exhibitions Sharon Lockhart: Pine Flat and OPEN-ENDED (the art of engagement), which closes on June 18. On Saturday, June 3, as part of the Walker’s Free First Saturday, a gallery crawl will lead visitors through the Walker galleries to see what various kinds of fiction, folklore, and fables have inspired the many artists represented there. Also offered in June 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.
