Avant Garden 2026
Our annual gala includes art, fashion, and the celebrated art auction in the galleries. Then, descend underground into a rave-inspired, high-fashion dance hall filled with texture, light, and sound. This not-to-be-missed event is truly the “party of the year” (Minnesota Star Tribune).
DJ Skee headlines this year’s late-night party. A genre-defying tastemaker credited by Kendrick Lamar, Lady Gaga, and Post Malone, he brings a rave-inspired playlist that gets everyone moving. We guarantee a good time.
YASMEENAH opens the Party with her signature soulful mixing. She’s a lauded figure in the Twin Cities DJ scene, and founder of UNBOTHERED, a sanctuary for underground Black music.
All proceeds support the Walker Art Center’s award-winning programs.
