Artist Shanties

In 2005, the Town designed and built a boardwalk and installed seven artist shanties to serve as affordable studio and gallery space for local artists and artisans. The response to the Harbor your Arts (HyA) Program was overwhelmingly positive by the arts community, residents and visitors.

This popular attraction provides a picturesque setting to view art made by both man and nature. Visitors to the seven harbor side shanties can enjoy photography,painting, handmade jewelry and more created by local artists and artisans.
