CLASSIC SHANTIES ARE BACK!

Artists had great success with the exterior-only festival in 2022 and 2023, adapting with whimsical creativity and expanding the notion of what a shanty project can be! This year we have invited artists to continue that trend OR go back to classic shanties with interior experiences. We’ve got a mix – so if you’ve been waiting to cozy up inside with us, this is your year! And if you’re still not comfortable with that, we got you!

…

SUPPORT ARTISTS + ARTMAKING!

It takes a village to build a village, and there are many ways to actively participate! We’ll soon be seeking volunteers for the on-ice program – sign up for our newsletter to get announcements. You can also contribute as a member with an annual donation of just $25 or if you’re a local business, offer a cash or in-kind donation!

Friends! We don’t have to tell you that we are experiencing the warmest winter on record this year, and that other events are canceling, adapting or postponing. Luckily Art Shanty Projects is extraordinarily nimble and flexible — embracing challenges with creativity is at the heart of our mission!
…
Staff members have been working behind the scenes to prepare for many potential scenarios for our program this year.
…
We’re glued to our weather apps (yay subzero temps next week!) and making visits to the lake regularly to observe changing conditions. The lake is re-freezing, and near the Bandshell we have 4” of fresh, clear ice (though the south end of the lake is open water again, ugh). We need a fully frozen lake with 10” of good ice at the site of our village to do the public program.
…
It’s unlikely that it will be cold enough, fast enough, to be on the ice in time for our scheduled January 20th opening.
We are considering several options for our program, including opening on schedule with Plan Beach or postponing one week to be On-Ice if it seems reasonable for ice to build in time (we also have to be pretty confident that it won’t just melt again!)
