I was just reading in Library Journal magazine about The Art Shanty Project that is held every year in Minnesota. Temporary shelters are put up by artists for four winter weekends on Medicine Lake near Minneapolis. Some of this year's shanties include Art Swap Shanty, Dance Shanty, FantaShanty (puppetry & storytelling), and the Library Shanty. Here is a description of the Library Shanty:
Library Shanty - Medicine Lake BranchLauren Herzak-Bauman, Sarah Baker, Matt Maxx, Alex Schluender, Megan Wicker
The Library Shanty seeks to bring about interaction between art, the public, and the lake through sharing books and providing an environment in which to interact. The Medicine Lake Branch's collection will specifically deal in art and regional cultural activities. We seek to function in a number of ways: to document the exchange and history of objects and information; to serve as a gathering place and location for cultural exchange; and to exhibit notable subjects and ideas within the context of the library's holdings. Come hang out at the Medicine Lake Branch and create a library card, join a book clubs or enjoy the curated shelf-sized art exhibitions.
