It’s time to start dreaming about Shanty Season! Art Shanty Projects is currently seeking winter enthusiasts and creative adventurers to propose shanties, performances and art actions for the 2025 Program.
We’ve announced the artists & performers! See the full list, and peruse their descriptions!
While every shanty is open during all public hours (Saturdays & Sundays, 10am – 4pm), the Performances + Art Actions pop up at different times throughout the village: at the Performance Stage, at specific shanties, interspersed between shanties, roving, or at expansive spaces like the Town Square and Ice Field.
Check out the schedule here and plan your visit around your favorite performers!
Art Shanty Projects embraces the spirit of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) in our commitment to ensuring that all members of our community can participate as fully as possible in our arts events, programs, meetings, facilities and communications.
Map, amenities & more coming soon
It takes a village to build a village, and there are many ways to actively participate! We’ll soon be seeking volunteers for the on-ice program – sign up for our newsletter to get announcements. You can also contribute as a member with an annual donation of just $25 or if you’re a local business, offer a cash or in-kind donation!
Get your snowsuit ready & join us at a party to kick things off!
