Minneapolis est une ville profondément engagée dans les arts, avec des valeurs fondamentales qui célèbrent la créativité, la diversité et la communauté. Cette visite à pied au cœur de Minneapolis allie parfaitement arts et vie urbaine. Nous parcourrons le Nicollet Mall, une vitrine d'art public qui transforme le cœur du centre-ville en une galerie à ciel ouvert. Ce corridor d'un kilomètre et demi présente une diversité de sculptures et d'installations reflétant la culture et l'histoire de la ville. Nous découvrirons un mélange de bâtiments remarquables, historiques et modernes, qui contribuent tous au caractère unique du centre-ville. La Loring Greenway nous mènera au Loring Park, où se trouvent des jeux d'eau vibrants, des pavillons et des sculptures en bronze, abstraites et fantaisistes. Ensuite, direction le Minneapolis Sculpture Garden, adjacent au Walker Art Center, qui présente plus de 40 sculptures sur 4,5 hectares ! L'inspiration est omniprésente !

Minneapolis est l'un des plus grands centres artistiques des États-Unis, et le Minneapolis Sculpture Garden est comme un sanctuaire qui le prouve.

La visite commence au Walker Art Museum, situé sur le site de l'ancienne demeure de Thomas Lowry, sur la « Devil's Backbone », un terrain escarpé à deux crêtes à la silhouette saisissante.

Cette visite allie découverte de l'art, contexte historique et récits poignants. Vous découvrirez comment l'œuvre Scaffold de Sam Durant a suscité l'indignation mondiale en 2017, et vous profiterez de moments de recueillement devant les rochers miroitants de Jim Hodges.
