It’s cold in the Twin Cities. So what?

You can react one of two ways to winter; complain, be miserable and wait it out or suck it up and use the weather to your advantage. The folks at Art Shanty Projects do the latter. Over a dozen intrepid teams of artists have created fun and friendly shacks on Medicine Lake, just west of Minneapolis, for a few weeks of unique wintertime activities. There is a costume shack, a print shop, a troll bridge (yes, troll bridge), a reflection house and lots more. You can’t find this kind of stuff anywhere but the Twin Cities.

The Art Shanty Projects will be out on Medicine Lake in Plymouth every weekend until February 5.
