HISTORY
The Art Shelter began as a post-pandemic response: how to do more with less in ways that are socially inclusive, environmentally proactive, and better aligned with an unpredictable future. In 2023, we purchased a 42-ft diameter repurposed geodesic dome from Arctic Acres. Then we built it in Lakeview, Mississauga. In Spring 2024, we launched our first season of activities in this unique, beautiful and unconventional space. This was an off-grid place for Frog in Hand to rehearse and create, but was also shared with our community to cultivate and grow creative ideas. It was artist-run and community-engaged, an intentional act of climate leadership. Its limited footprint, flexibility and collaborative operating model provided space to incubate new ideas and forge community connections. In late 2025, the Art Shelter was taken down.
