ArtRocks Open Jam Session

An open jam session for musicians to meet and play with other musicians from around the area. A house band will set up and host the event. Players can bring their guitars, basses, horns, sticks, keyboards, washboards, etc, and singers and songwriters bring themselves, their words, and their voices. The house band will 'back' individual jammers, and allow for groups of jammers to get up and play. Admission is free. Donations welcome.

ArtRocks events are open to friends and family members of jammers, as well as the public. No need to play or perform; listening is an art too!

Art Shanty Projects On-Ice Program

Dear friends,

We had an INCREDIBLE opening weekend at the shanties, greeting over 10,000 visitors over two days and engaging with visitors through joyful & thought-provoking, weird & wonderful art.

We have been tracking the weather and lake conditions - and while the ice still measured 12” in the village as of yesterday afternoon, the forecast is not in our favor moving forward and we have made the decision to get the shanties off the lake and close early.
