About the Show
October 1, 2026
Students, professors, and curious minds and lifelong learners alike are invited to Scholars’ Night. This year’s campus-wide evening of activities takes you behind the scenes at the Walker.
In the Main Lobby, start by perusing information tables and enjoying a drink. A tour of Olalekan Jeyifous: Hydricosmic Litanies begins at 6 pm.
At 6 pm, enjoy a rare look into the Walker’s recent acquisitions with the debut of WAC-101. This new program, led by Walker curators, offers insights into the many roles, projects, and efforts that shape a museum collection.
At 7 pm, D’Est (From the East) by Chantal Akerman screens in the Walker Cinema followed by a conversation with Claire Atherton, the editor of the film. Educators and students can receive a free ticket at the desk with school ID. D’est, a work in Walker collection, was presented as a multi-channel installation as part of the 1995 Walker exhibition Bordering on Fiction: Chantal Akerman’s D’est.
Visit the Ellen L. Breyer Library for a special look at a curated selection of Walker reading materials highlighting the intersections of water and art. On your way to or from the library, be sure to stop by the Art Lab for hands-on art-making designed by guest artist Anna Clowser.
University professors and faculty who attend Scholars’ Night will receive gallery passes to bring their students back to the Walker to see Olalekan Jeyifous: Hydricosmic Litanies and other exhibitions on view for free.
