The Art Shanty Projects: Erin Lavelle

It’s well known that lakes are a hub of activity in the summer, but did you know that Minnesota lakes are bustling with activity throughout the winter? The Art Shanty Projects is a winter festival that takes place on Bde Unna a.k.a Lake Harriet every year like clockwork. Snowfall and warming weather due to climate change called for relocation and an operation they call “Project Beach”.  Artistic Director, Erin Lavelle, hosted me at the Welcome Shanty and offers you a sneak peak at into 2023’s Art Shanty Project.
