Summer in the Sculpture Garden
 The Walker Art Center will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden with a series of special events from May through September, with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans as the lead sponsor.
The Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, a unique urban public park located just outside downtown Minneapolis, features sculptures from the Walker’s collection and site-specific works, including the monumental and, now, iconic sculpture Spoonbridge and Cherry (shown here) by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.
The anniversary celebration will include a variety of free summer activities, including an expanded Free First Saturdays program, Rock the Garden, Walker in the Rough mini-golf, the exhibition Design for the Other 90%, a special performance by dance pioneer Trisha Brown and the inauguration of the all-new Garden FlatPak House and Activity Center.
"Contributing to the arts is just one more way we work to help the overall community thrive, and to give our members unique access to events like this one," says Bruce J. Nicholson, Thrivent Financial president and CEO.
