' Hopper Drawing: A Painter's Progress' at the Walker
Opening Thursday night: Famous for paintings of lonely urbanites and empty streets, Edward Hopper agonized over every design, turning out endless drawings of hands, figures, buildings and interiors.

The opening-night party will include a photo-booth version of "Office," a free screening of Hopper's favorite film, "The Savage Eye," and "Old School Art School" drawing lessons. Hopper costumes are encouraged. See Friday's Variety section for a review of the show. (Opens 5-9 p.m. Thursday. Free. Walker Art Center, 1750 Hennepin Av.
