Art Shanty Projects 2023 Campaign

Updated June 5, 2023

Happy Spring (or one season closer to Art Shanty season - haha)!

Our artists and staff miraculously pivoted within days to bring you Plan Beach this past winter - but the reality is donations came up short by $15,000. With our June 30 fiscal year end quickly approaching, we humbly ask for your support (again).  

We fearlessly do what we do to uplift art and joyful connection for our community of artists, neighbors, fans, and new friends (in the freaking coldest months). In return, a whopping 80% of Art Shanty Project's income & in-kind donations come from our community. We couldn't do it without this incredible show of kindness and reciprocity. 

We hope you'll join us again in supporting this wildly unique program that helps keep Minneapolis weird and wonderful.

We greatly appreciate:

❄️ everyone who renewed their memberships for the 2023 season
❄️ all of you who became members for the first time
❄️ and each and every person who made a donation to the bucket or at the Welcome Shanty when visiting the Arts Shanty Village!

If you enjoyed our program and want to help us close out our fiscal year with a balanced budget, please consider making a donation. We encourage you to remember the fun our artists and performers shared with you and our community for four weekends in January and February and we greatly appreciate whatever you can give - be it $5, $50, $500 or $5,000. It takes a village to create our village each winter and donations in any amount are appreciated.

 THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT! We look forward to celebrating our TWENTIETH anniversary season with you next year!
