Get your snowsuits ready. After taking a pandemic Get your snowsuits ready. After taking a pandemic pause with public programming, WE'RE BACK and we're thrilled to announce the 2022 artist projects! See all the details on our website. Link in bio. #publicart #welovewinter #getoutside #artistlife 📷: @freetruthmedia Art Shanty Projects is a joyful expression of public art, and we have a commitment to prioritize public health in our operations. In the spirit of abundant caution and love for our community, we are offering an EXTERIOR-ONLY EXPERIENCE for visitors in 2022. With artist input through a design charrette process last January, this year will feature shanties that can be engaged with from the outside or in the open air, and more performances and art actions than ever before, including a focus on movement activities to keep folks warm. We hope to see you there!
Meet Cali (she/her)! Cali is an artist, gamer, gar Meet Cali (she/her)! Cali is an artist, gamer, gardener, sci-fi fan and is about to leave the board after almost 6 years! She says, “As a former shanty artist, I wanted a different way to be involved, and to help pass on knowledge to future shanty artists. I got to use my skills in design, technology, building, and event planning.  I learned about  non-profits, grant writing, budgeting, accessibility, equity and inclusion, and more! I’ve made friendships and connections with board members, staff, and artists! I’m going to miss being on the board, but I’ve grown and learned so much -- and I’ll be back as a volunteer or artist in the future! It takes a lot of people to make the magic of art shanties happen, but it’s fun and meaningful work with really great people! If you are enthusiastic about art, joy, and winter, I recommend you apply!” She believes the board experience can be summarized as “Engaging, learning, growing,” and “❄️❤️🦄 “ We’re looking for enthusiastic folks who care about joy, winter, and art! Visit our website to learn more and apply. #publicart #welovewinter #getoutside
