The Walker Art Center, located in Minneapolis, is a catalyst for the creative expression of artists and the active engagement of audiences. One of the most celebrated art museums in the United States, the Walker Art Center is known for its innovative presentations and acclaimed collections of contemporary art across the spectrum of the visual, performing, and media arts. Walker programs examine the questions that shape and inspire us as individuals, cultures, and communities.

The Walker’s Moving Image program presents a wide range of moving image artists and contemporary filmmakers, explores the history and creative use of the cinematic medium, represents our global community, and engages our audience with artistic approaches to the ideas that define our times. We offer a range of cinematic experiences through screenings presented in our state-of-the-art cinema, self-select Bentson Mediatheque, and within gallery installations. The Walker maintains a collection of avant-garde films, documentaries, world cinema, and video works within the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection.
