About the Show
Jan. 27 - Feb. 11, 2024, 10 AM to 4 PM
CANCELLATION: Due to the warm weather the Art Shanty Projects had to shut down operations early this year and no activities were carried out after February 1.
Art Shanty Projects is a month-long outdoor public art event. Inspired by pop-up ice fishing villages, artists use the frozen lake (or nearby park, if the ice isn't thick enough) as a public platform to create a temporary, interactive community. Projects engage all senses, and include visual spectacle, music, dance, games, tactile experiences and more! Shanties are up all month long and activated during all open hours. Performances + Art Actions pop up throughout the village at scheduled times during the run: https://artshantyprojects.org/2024-schedule-of-performances-and-art-actions/. Activities take place Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM to 4 PM. ASL and Audio Description are available from 11 AM to 2 PM.
