Art Shanty Projects 2026!

Art Shanty Projects is returning to the frozen water of Bdé Umáŋ / Lake Harriet in South Minneapolis January 17 – February 8, 2026. Join us once or 8 times! This month-long program – a spectacle like no other – brings people together to embrace the challenges and opportunities of winter (and of our world) through immersive, radical, participatory art.

Kicksleds are available as mobility aids, and there will be ASL interpreters and audio describers available on Sundays from noon - 3pm. Stay tuned for more details on amenities, performance schedule, parking info and more! https://artshantyprojects.org/

Suggested donation $10-20. We pay artists + staff! Give online in advance ( https://www.givemn.org/story/artshantyprojects2026) or at the entrance.

We’re a people-powered organization. Over 50% of our income is by way of modest gifts from many individual donors. Additional support comes from community partners and grants!

This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.

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