Thank you to all 10,000 of you who visited us this winter!

Welcome to Art Shanty Projects!

Who we are:

hundreds of artists

Four weekends

One Frozen Lake

Each winter Art Shanty Projects hosts an immersive art program on a frozen lake in Minneapolis.

Artists embrace the challenges and opportunities of winter and the ephemeral nature of a frozen winter landscape to create a temporary vibrant and colorful public art community. We welcome visitors to experience interactive and engaging art and performances around DIY shanties (temporary structures on ice).
