The Walker Art Center is a famous art institution located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Renowned for its extensive collection of more than 15,000 works and for its programs and initiatives, the center had humble beginnings. It was originally established in 1879 as a small art gallery by Thomas Barlow Walker, and opened as the Walker Art Center in 1940. Now spread across several acres, the multidisciplinary art institution offers access to a range of exhibition spaces, events, and art initiatives. The Walker Art Center not only collects, but also supports the creation of work across different fields, from visual, performing and media arts to design. For over 75 years, the center has published a wide selection of exhibition catalogs, books, and magazines – originally in print and more recently, also in digital formats.
