Art Shanties in Minnesota

John Baichtal @ MAKE writes:

You've heard of art cars... but what about art shanties? These are ice fishing huts converted into habitable works of art. Now in its third year, the Twin Cities' Art Shanty Projects returns to frozen Medicine Lake for another round of awesome huts. All sorts of activities will take place on the lake, such as theater, concerts, a bike race, a circuit-bending demonstration, and a workshop where visitors can make wind-powered toys.
The exhibit opens January 16th and lasts four weeks.

While Medicine Lake is a few miles north of Minneapolis, it is in a suburb, definitely not in northern Minnesota.

Is that coffee if that picture?

I believe it is the wrong picture for the post, but I like it anyway.

I'm pretty sure that coffee would be frozen if it was at Medicine Lake. Wrong photo?

Also- don't forget ice bike races at the shanties! And Frozen Croquet! A good time, everyone should go!
