Presented by BMAC and Retreat Farm, Artful Ice Shanties is a place-based celebration of artistic talent, creative ingenuity, and the rich history of ice fishing in New England.
Artful Ice Shanties will be displayed outdoors at Retreat Farm (45 Farmhouse Square, Brattleboro, Vermont) February 15-23, 2025. Visitors are welcome from dawn til dusk.
On Saturday, February 22, join us for an Awards Ceremony at 2 p.m., where a panel of local judges will give out an array of light-hearted awards. Retreat Farm’s Thirsty Goat Bar will be open for business on the weekends (Feb. 15-16 and Feb. 22-23), 10-6.
This is the fifth year of Artful Ice Shanties. Prior year’s entries have included:
— Namaskônek, a shanty inspired by the Algonquin ancestors of the region
— A glass box that used recycled lenses to simulate the experience of the northern lights
— A shanty by third and fourth graders that displayed animals’ winter survival strategies
— An enormous black die with moon-shaped dots
— A shanty that doubled as a working camera obscura
— A shanty in the shape of a giant fish
