A tiny form in an orange snowsuit and a black and white space helmet stands in front of what looks like a crashed space pod. Is it a child? A statue? The barren winter landscape adds to the alien feeling.

❄️ WELCOME, KERRI !!! ❄️ We are thrilled

❄️ WELCOME, KERRI !!! ❄️

We are thrilled to announce Kerri Jamison as our new Operations Director! In this position, Kerri will administer all the affairs of the organization in cooperation with the Artistic Director, Board, and Production Team. This includes administrative operating functions, on-ice festival logistics, accessibility, and management of grants, sponsors, program budget, and contracts.

Kerri joins ASP with an extensive professional arts background spanning both nonprofit and private creative sectors from Walker Art Center and Northern Lights.mn to Fallon and Aveda. She thrives on supporting artists and the creative process to realize ambitious ideas, especially those taking place in unusual spaces. As a photographer and quiet-sports enthusiast, Kerri says she maintained her sanity during quarantine by venturing out into nature, exploring water in all its forms throughout the seasons, particularly winter. Naturally, it seems fitting for her to join Art Shanty Projects to help us build our vibrant arts community on ice.

Kerri says, “I’ve been a participant and supporter of ASP since its Medicine Lake beginnings and am excited to help bring the festival back for 2022. I’m energized by the collective creative energy ASP inspires, and love using my logistical skills to support artists and art-making. Nature, community, and creativity were essential during quarantine. As we emerge, I look forward to bringing people together for much needed joyful art experiences in community.”

🌈 Happy Pride! 🌈 🖤🤎♥️🧡💛💚

🌈 Happy Pride! 🌈

🖤🤎♥️🧡💛💚💙💜

At ASP, we love any occasion to celebrate, and this one is especially dear to us. Many folks involved in Art Shanty Projects, from artists to staff and Board of Directors, are queer and proud. Today we celebrate one another, our identities, and our community. But for all our celebrations, Pride is also about remembrance, and the people who came before us. Pride began as an uprising, a fight for the rights of our LGBTQIA2S+ elders and ancestors. We honor them and their work AND we know much more work still has to be done: there will be no queer liberation until Black folks, Trans folks, and Black Trans folks are free. ASP aims to be a space where LGBTQIA2S+ folks feel respected and valued, and we will always do our part to make sure that's the case.
