About Walker Art Center

The Walker Art Center combines contemporary art, cinema, and live theater into a dynamic cultural campus in downtown Minneapolis. From rotating gallery exhibitions to intimate performances in The McGuire Theater and acclaimed cinema programs in the Walker Cinema, this multidisciplinary venue offers a full-day art experience for locals and visitors. Since its expansions and the 2017 integration of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, the campus has become a cornerstone of the city’s creative landscape.

Whether you’re planning a gallery visit, a film screening, or a live show, you’ll want reliable directions, easy parking, and nearby lodging and dining options. We’ve got you covered with practical details to help you secure your seats and enjoy your visit with peace of mind.

Parking is convenient with an underground parking ramp connected to the Walker Art Center, making arrivals straightforward. Transit access is solid, with nearby Metro Transit bus stops and routes such as lines 4, 6, and 11—plus walkable links to downtown stops. The campus also includes the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, expanded in 2017 and now seamlessly integrated with the Walker. For a full Minneapolis arts weekend, consider staying at nearby hotels like the Hyatt Regency Minneapolis, the Minneapolis Marriott City Center, or The Chambers Hotel, each offering comfortable stays within easy reach of the venue. When you plan, check the event listing for venue-specific seating—The McGuire Theater seats 385 and the Walker Cinema seats 340—to choose the best viewing experience for your preferred performance.

We’ve got you covered with practical, matter-of-fact information to help you secure your seats, plan your travel, and find good nearby dining options.
