Since 2004, Arts Shanty Projects (ASP) has created joyful, winter art experiences for adults and kids of all ages. Inspired by pop-up ice fishing villages, artists use the frozen lake as a public platform to create a temporary community. And we want your business to be a part of this unique experience!

It takes a village to build a vibrant art village on ice!

More than 200 local artists celebrate, champion and embrace the extreme winter sport of art making by creating interactive installations and performances on Bde Unma / Lake Harriet.  Art Shanties Projects is one of a kind. There is no other public art event like this in the United States – or anywhere else that we know of! Last year more than 28,000 people visited the village. Check out our press archive to see what people are saying about us! View our list of 2022 Sponsors here to see the good company you will be joining if you support us this year!

You can support this unique village with a cash and/or in-kind donation!

We are a Minneapolis-based, non-profit organization that values joy and inclusion. Our sustainability depends on donations from businesses (like yours), individuals, volunteers and grants.
