MPR’s Marianne Combs profiles the Art Shanty Project, a collection of ice houses with an artistic flair. Visitors to Minnesota often stop and wonder at the strange collection of ice fishing shacks that appear on the lakes each winter. On this year, even the locals are stopping to stare at a group of shacks on Medicine Lake in Plymouth.
Combs talks with a number of the artists who responded to a call by the Soap Factory gallery in Minneapolis to come up with their own unique designs for ice houses.
