Introducing ART SHANTY CHOCOLATE PORTER from Lake Monster!
Big news from our official beer sponsor, Lake Monster Brewing!!!
The local Saint Paul brewery has created a limited-edition beer in our honor -- Art Shanty Chocolate Porter -- which will be available at the Lake Monster taproom, in bars, and at liquor stores beginning in December as six-pack cans. A portion of each sale of Art Shanty Chocolate Porter will benefit Art Shanty Projects.
As a sponsor, Lake Monster will also be supporting us by hosting events including an artist send-off party on January 2 (mark your calendars!), selling co-branded merchandise with shared profits, and offering taproom specials to Art Shanty Projects members! (MEMBERS of all levels get $1 off pints in the taproom through March 15; higher level members get a free pint and a crowler to go!)
We extend many, many thanks to Lake Monster for their enthusiasm and support -- and we hope everyone will go out and try some Art Shanty Chocolate Porter!
Art Shanty Projects' 2018 On-Ice program was successful beyond our wildest expectations, welcoming more than 40,000 visitors to our new location on frozen Bde Unma/Lake Harriet in Minneapolis! Unfortunately, record-breaking attendance does not guarantee funding for future programming, and in 2019 we took a year off to reassess our financial wellbeing and have since taken steps to move toward becoming a self-sustaining organization. With an initial boost from an anonymous donor - and additional grants and sponsors that followed - we are thrilled to be back on the ice in 2020 and we look forward to bringing joy, delight and fun to tens of thousands of visitors again.
It takes $170,000 to present our annual event and our sustainability depends on contributions from individuals like you. Your donation supports artist materials and stipends, a small and hardworking staff, plus permits and other production costs. We invite you to make a donation in any amount. At just $2/month you will begin to receive membership benefits.
