Interactive art installations welcome visitors on the opening day of the annual Art Shanty Projects, on Lake Harriet in Minneapolis, Minn., Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025. MINNEAPOLIS — Saturday was cold even for Minneapolis, but that didn’t stop thousands of people from tromping out onto a frozen lake to immerse themselves in art, make new friends — and try their best to stay warm.
Minnesotans are passionate about water and view the state’s thousands of lakes as public spaces to enjoy, even during winters that would keep people elsewhere deep under the covers, sai Erin Lavelle, the organization’s artistic director. In the 21 years the event has been held, Lavelle said it has been curtailed by warm winters a few times but never because it was too cold. On this weekend, temperatures weren’t expected to top the single digits.
This year’s projects include some elaborate and innovative displays, such as a knitting pavilion in which visitors weave hand-dyed yarn into panels to complete the roof and walls; a three-ring circus with music, poetry and clowning; a Cat World where people can be transformed into felines; dancing in a “Disco Inferno Hot Box”; and a film studio where people create their own short movies.
