Frozen yogurt stand to debut at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden this summer
The latest exhibit hitting the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden is organic frozen yogurt. The Walker Art Center is welcoming Fro Yo Soul Sips and Snacks, which will take up residence at the home of Spoonbridge and Cherry daily beginning June 7. The treat purveyor was selected after a request for proposals was issued in 2024 looking for a company to complement the food options already offered at the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden. For more than a decade, the frozen yogurt-slinging shop has been posting up at festivals, food truck events, and art fairs around the Twin Cities. Now, it'll make the Walker its home for the summer, serving frozen yogurt with a variety of toppings, including fruit, granola, candy, and cookies. The Sculpture Garden's menu will also have local craft beer, wine, frozen lemonade, and other non-alcoholic and THC-infused drinks, as well as popcorn and hot dogs, which will be available in vegetarian and gluten-free options. 'We're honored to be part of the Sculpture Garden's legacy,' Fro Yo Soul co-founder Zack Rethlake says. 'We hope to be a spot where people connect over art, nature, and a swirl, snack and sip or two.' Fro Yo Soul will be open in the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, a joint project from the Walker Art Center and Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board, from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily.

Walker Art Center unveils slate of free summertime events
The Walker Art Center is ready for the move to outdoor events. In addition to unveiling dates for its Skyline Mini Golf late last month, it has revealed its slate of free summertime events, which includes the return of Sound for Silents. The annual movie event on the Walker's hillside commissions a new score for silent films, which are performed in the late summer outside the institution. On Aug. 14, filmmaker Philip Harder (who was behind Prince's "Cinnamon Girl" and the Low documentary Cue the Strings—a Film About Low) will collaborate with the ensemble of singer/songwriter Matt Arthur to present new music to films from the Walker's Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection. Other events throughout the summer include events for the Walker's Free Thursday Nights, which opens the museum to all visitors every Thursday from 5–9 p.m. It'll also host events around its ongoing Free First Saturday series, which opens the galleries and puts on family-friendly events on the first Saturday of each month.
