The Walker Art Center, located in Minneapolis, has announced a temporary closure scheduled for January 23. This decision aligns with a daylong demonstration aimed at opposing the presence of ICE in the state of Minnesota.
The art center’s move is a significant gesture of solidarity with activists advocating for change. By pausing its operations, the Walker Art Center joins a broader call for action against immigration policies enforced by ICE.
As part of its commitment to community and political engagement, the center is taking a stand alongside other institutions and individuals expressing their dissent against ICE’s local activities.
