About the Show
weekends from January 18 - February 9, 2025
Since 2004 Art Shanty Projects has created whimsical, weird and joyful winter art experiences for grown adults and kids of all ages. Inspired by pop-up ice fishing villages, artists use the frozen lake as a public platform to create a temporary, interactive community.
This year's program includes 20 Shanties that stay up all month, and more than 20 performances & art actions that pop up throughout the village at different times throughout the run. Shanties will again be a mix of classic, enclosed structures and the new open-air style of projects that artists developed during the pandemic. Individual artists, performers and project listings are on the website, https://artshantyprojects.org. The projects collectively provide a multi-sensory experience, including visual spectacle, touchable elements, sound, movement, and even taste!
