Art Shanty Projects is returning to Bdé Umáŋ / Lake Harriet in South Minneapolis January 20 – February 11, 2024. The month-long program features sonically satisfying, visually dazzling and community-engaged offerings that embrace the challenges and opportunities of winter through immersive, adventuresome, participatory art.
We are proud to host these artists in celebration of our 20 years of weird & wonderful winters!
