2026 Art Shanty Projects

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.

There is no one way to address what we’re encountering in this specific moment, and artists are interpreting ‘what does our community need, here, now?’ with a variety of outputs. You’ll encounter contemplative projects on epidemics and climate change alongside exuberant celebrations of queerness. Artists are providing ways to re-connect with our own bodies in shared space through varied collective movement - yoga, both subtle and rollicking dance, traditional indigenous games. Also expect humor, epic storytelling, and loud music.

If you LOVE what Art Shanty Projects offers you, we hope you’ll continue to support it! Meet the artists and kick off our 22nd season together in true shanty style: with bonfires, snowsuits & hot potatoes at our 2026 launch party! Thursday, November 20, 6-8pm on the patio at Lake Monster Brewing. More info below. All are welcome. Make a membership contribution now and drink free!
