2022 Art Shanty Projects

The chill is setting in, that means SHANTY SEASON is drawing near. Over 200+ artists and 20 performance groups have been selected and announced and their production plans are well underway. They’ll be back on Bde Unma / Lake Harriet from January 15 - February 6 and they're excited to see you all again!

Shanties are active from 10:00 AM - 4:00 PM Saturdays and Sundays during the festival.

Please consider making a donation in advance of of the festival. Gifts of any amount are appreciated; memberships begin at $24 annually (or just $2/month). They are set up on GiveMN (best for one-time gifts) and Patreon (best for monthly gifts).

Covid Precautions
Art Shanty Projects is a joyful expression of public art, and they have a commitment to prioritize public health in our operations. In the spirit of abundant caution and love for our community, they are offering an EXTERIOR-ONLY EXPERIENCE for visitors this year. That means no going inside shanties, and they strongly encourage mask wearing even though it is outdoors. 

Wearing a mask will help keep you, our shanty community, and the public safe. It’s a respectful act towards our artists, and helps ensure they can stay open while many events are having to pause at this time.
