Art Shanty Projects is an artist driven temporary community exploring the ways in which public spaces can be used as a new and challenging artistic environments to expand notions of art.

For four weekends in January and February, the 2020 On-Ice Program will transform a frozen lake in Minnesota into a village of ice fishing shanty-like structures designed and built by artists. 

Art Shanty Projects' 2020 On-Ice Program will take place on Bde Unma (Lake Harriet). The project is open to the public and entry is granted by sliding scale donations. No individual will be turned away due to lack of funds. Hours are from 10am-4pm on Saturdays and Sundays, January 18 - February 9, 2020. 

We are seeking proposals for shanties and performances for the on-ice program. All proposals are due Wednesday, August 21 and will be juried by a panel made up of an Art Shanty Projects representative, local artists, curators, and past participants.
