Schools and Teachers

The Walker Art Center’s School Programs division works with pre-K–12 teachers and their students to connect contemporary art to classroom curricula through thematic school tours, education resources, teacher workshops, and interdisciplinary school partnerships. If you would like to become a school partner, plan a special tour, preview an exhibition before visiting with your students, or arrange for a customized teacher workshop, contact susan.rotilie@walkerart.org.

The Walker’s Community Programs division offers partnerships and resources to colleges and universities. For more information, call 612.375.7548.
