ART SHANTIES
After a pandemic pause to public programming in 2021, Art Shanty Projects is returning to the ice in 2022 with an adapted program that responds to both COVID-19 and climate change. The festival will be exterior-only for visitors, and shanty artists were asked to propose projects that audiences could engage with in the open air. Artistic Director Erin Lavelle said, “Artists are innovators, and when presented with a design challenge they adapt in impressive, enthusiastic ways. The array of selected shanties is so enticing!”
The Art Shanty Projects On-Ice program will take place on Bde Unma / Lake Harriet from Jan. 15 through Feb. 6, 2022. Public hours are 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. every Saturday and Sunday. Kicksleds are available for accessible transport from shore to village and throughout. While the festival is outside only this year, masks will be strongly encouraged. There will be a suggested donation of $10-20 at the gate again this season and funds will help ensure a viable future. The newly instituted entry gate and on-ice fundraising plan at the 2020 collected over $60,000 from 27,000 visitors.
