Teen programming at the Walker Art Center

Teenagers no longer need to wait for Thursday nights to get into the Walker Art Center for free. Thanks to some funding from Wells Fargo, the museum has announced it's making itself free to teenagers during all regular hours.

The Walker Art Center already has several programs dedicated to getting teenagers more interested in contemporary art, and also operates a teen-centric web site. This new initiative will make it that much easier for young art lovers to walk in the front door.

The new policy takes effect on October 14, the night of the Walker student open house.
