Misfits in action
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow (see what we did there?)
Misfit Toys Art presents Winter Solstice (give or take a week)
An interactive frozen lake where participants can drive a vintage Studebaker on ice, fish from a private ice shanty, sled down a hill, play in a snowfort, and share absurd stories around a winter campfire. Built as a gift for Black Rock City.
Yesterday, today, and tomorrow (see what we did there?)
A giant runner sled on a wood "snow" mound overlooks a frozen lake of 5 to 7 shanties, a dock and boat house, a vintage car to sit in, and a tended fire ring at night. Each shanty is individually curated by a different artist with cards, games, poetry, literature, craft projects, music, and mystery. This is a space for radical self-expression and immediate experience.
