Opticon

 Opticon is a camera obscura on ice, a trip to the past, a learning opportunity and a moment for participatory artistic expression. Learn a little history of photography and art, a bit of science and have some unusual fun. Experience a magically projected image of nearby shanties and visitors against a backdrop of the distant lakeshore. Opticon encourages interaction with that image through viewing and drawing. See your surroundings through a different lens, literally and figuratively.

This Cultural Districts Arts Fund activation is funded, in part, by the City of Minneapolis Arts & Cultural Affairs Department.

This event is supported by the Meet Minneapolis Community Events Assistance Program.

Major support for Art Shanty Projects is provided by The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts.
