Art Shanty Projects turns a frozen Minneapolis lake into a temporary village of artist built ice shanties, free and open on winter weekends. The project began in 2004 and has become a fixture of the Twin Cities winter arts calendar, moving among metro lakes from year to year. Artists apply through an open call to design and staff each shanty.
