No Movies and Music in Loring Park this summer

The Walker Art Center's longstanding film series is "on hiatus" this summer, according to an e-mail sent out by a Walker staffer.

The event - which featured live bands followed by classic movies - has been cancelled, according to the e-mail, "due to the density of programming being organized by the Walker."

No mention was made of when (or if) the film series would be reinstated.

The Walker Art Center's line-up live events this summer includes a free concert featuring Tapes 'N Tapes and Total Babe on July 11, mnartists.org's Field Day on August 19, and a performance by tropical electronica chanteuse Juana Molina on June 26.
