An annual event featuring uniquely designed shanties — all on a frozen-over lake — starts this weekend. The Art Shanty Projects have been taking place since 2004, hosting performances and interactive experiences for attendees.
“We’re very excited by the beautiful ice that’s out there. It’s absolutely gorgeous,” said Artistic Director Erin Lavelle.
“We are a mix of winter enthusiasts and winter curmudgeons … [we] just want to be out there with the public on this temporary floating sheet of ice.”
This year features 20 projects, from puppet melodramas to daily dance parties at noon. Last year’s event was delayed and then closed early due to warm conditions.

“We have a number of shanties who are returning this year from last year. They only had one weekend [last year]” Lavelle said.
“Our [ice] measurement a couple of days ago was already 13 inches, and our threshold is 12 to do the program. So that’s very exciting!”
New this year is a formalized mentorship program, where returning artists have been paired with new participants. The process began by having perspective shanty builders submit things they’d like to learn to make the projects successful.
“We selected four of those applicants and paired them with four returning artists … we set it in motion with an initial conversation of what the artists want to learn and what skills can be shared. And then they’ve been off on their own, working together,” Lavelle said.
The Art Shanty Projects can be seen on Lake Harriet in Minneapolis from Jan. 18 through Feb. 9.
An anonymous post on an unofficial Instagram page named “powderhornskatingclub” was all it took to coax nearly three dozen intrepid skaters onto the frozen lake at Powderhorn Park in Minneapolis a few days later.
“That’s right baby. The Powderhorn Skating Championship is back!” the post said.
The origins of speed skating on Powderhorn Lake in Powderhorn Park date back to the 1930s and ‘40s when, according to the Minneapolis Parks website, a local ice track hosted national skating championships and even Olympic trials. In 1948, four of the nine skaters on the U.S. Olympic team were from the south Minneapolis neighborhood.

On Saturday, skaters toed the starting line of the hand-shoveled track in two categories: beginner and intermediate. Heats consisted of one lap for beginners and two laps for the intermediate division.

Before the start, Powderhorn community members Orren Fen and Helena Howard passed out handmade cardboard signs for a dozen or so spectators lined up on the frozen lake.
“We saw the flyer and I was like, ‘We should grab some flags and come on down,’” said Fen.
Racers were decked out in outfits ranging from figure skating tutus and Carhartt coveralls to neon-patterned singlets straight out of 1980s workout videos.
Mar Horns, who skated in the beginner heat, said her grandfather grew up competing on the ice at Powderhorn Park. “It’s cool hearing my grandpa talk about his time living here, then seeing people continue to have some of these really cool traditions.”

“The real victory is being here with my friends and feeling my heart race as I skate around the ice,” said Spencer Polk, who finished first in the intermediate heat.
